Briella transferred schools to escape her past. All she wanted was a clean slate, quiet days, and no reminders of Winterfield-the place where everything went wrong.
Asher Pierce was the last person she expected to collide with. Star athlete, golden boy, everyone's favorite-everything Briella swore she hated. But when he pretends to be her boyfriend to rescue her from her old demons, a fake act turns into something she can't ignore.
She thinks his perfect smile is a mask.
He thinks her walls are just waiting to be broken down.
Tutoring sessions. Sideline stares. The line between pretending and something real blurs fast...
And when her past and his future collide, Briella has to decide: was escaping Winterfield the real challenge, or is it keeping Asher out of the mess she left behind?
