Esme Calloway has a love-hate relationship with lacrosse; it's her passion, but she doesn't want to spend every free second on it. Just studying. She is always studying. Parties were never her scene. On the other hand, Alejandro Aguilar is UGA's air-headed quarterback. He eats, sleeps, and breathes football with a side of parties. Because of his lack of dual commitment, his grades suffer. Terribly. As one of the top athletes in the country, Alex's grades were a reflection of his work ethic and ability to balance his responsibilities. UGA wanted to save face, so they hired their top student, Esme. Esme had already encountered him a while back when she'd caught his eye at a party. She never liked attention, and all Alex seemed to do was bring the people who worshipped the ground he walked on and then some. Alex had never had a girl catch his eye the way Esme did, let alone magnetize him. When the school volunteers Esme as one of his potential tutors, Alex doesn't give the others a second thought. Now, Esme is stuck and quite annoyed that the school volun-told her to tutor him, but Alex is over the moon. Alex is convinced he can win her over, but Esme has to give herself reasons not to fall for him. The odds are shifting. COPYRIGHT| All Rights Reserved

For as long as she can remember, Lena Carter has been invisible. A book-smart, straight-A student with oversized sweaters and a permanent seat in the library, she's spent high school avoiding drama, staying out of trouble, and keeping her head down. Too bad Jace Montgomery has other plans. Star quarterback, heir to his family's fortune, and the undisputed king of Westbrook High, Jace has spent years making Lena's life a living hell. Snide comments, stolen notebooks, cruel pranks-he never lets her forget that she doesn't belong in his world. And yet, despite all his torment, there's something in his eyes when he looks at her. Something dark, something unreadable. Lena is determined to make it through senior year without another run-in with Jace. But when she's forced to tutor him after his grades plummet, their worlds collide in ways neither of them expected. At first, it's war. Sharp words, heated glares, endless tension. But the more time they spend together, the more Lena sees cracks in Jace's carefully built armor. He's not just the arrogant golden boy everyone believes him to be-he's angry, trapped, fighting demons he never lets anyone see. And the more she learns, the more she realizes that maybe Jace doesn't hate her at all. Maybe he never did.
