Adrian Levont, Ivywood College's star hockey player, is benched after a brutal fight in the middle of a high-stakes game. His coach offers him one shot at redemption: three weeks of tutoring duty.
Kaia Lilian, a smart-mouthed student on the brink of academic probation, gets stuck with Adrian as her tutor. Their first session? A complete disaster. His ego meets her attitude, and neither of them is willing to back down.
What follows is a campus-wide war of pranks, sabotage, and insults - until their hatred for each other feels more like obsession.
Things only get worse when Kaia's best friend, and roommate, turns out to be Adrian's younger sister. There's no escaping him, no matter how hard she tries.
Then enters Callum Morris - Adrian's sworn enemy and hockey rival - who suddenly has his sights set on Kaia. Unlike Adrian, Callum knows exactly how to push Adrian's buttons and isn't shy about making his intentions clear.
Now caught between two enemies determined to outdo each other, Kaia finds herself trapped in a complicated love triangle she never asked for.
But as the rivalry deepens and feelings blur, Kaia is forced to confront the truth: sometimes, hate isn't the opposite of attraction - it's just the beginning of it.
