Rules are there to be broken, right?

Dominic Hunt never played by the rules. The campus playboy till the end of time. Half British heartthrob. Hitter of the Year. Classic Car maniac. Rockstar. Ruler of campus.

His life was predictable-a never-ending carousel of parties, hookups- 
Dominic Hunt was untouchable, unbeatable, and utterly unbothered.

Until the day he bumped into.. Renata Paradis.

Renata, a half blooded French Birkin Princess-or should we say.. ✨Birken Princess✨ 
Her sharp tongue that could cut him down faster than one of his home runs, she was everything Dominic wasn't: grounded, ambitious, and *almost* unimpressed by his charm.

A whirlwind of clashing egos and late-night rehearsals. The pair couldn't stop bickering, couldn't stop pushing each other's buttons, and couldn't deny the electric tension simmering beneath it all.

Love, rivalry, heartbreak, and a pressed leaf that tied it all together.
What happens when the campus ruler meets his match? Will they end in harmony-or will their duet end on the wrong note? 

From enemies to duet partners. From rivals to something more. Welcome to the story of Renata and Dominic-two hearts fighting a battle neither of them realized they'd already lost.

"Too bad. Thought we could be something, love."
"Not even in your dreams."

"In yours, then."

"You make me want to break every rule I've ever been taught." Valen Pierson. Looks that could kill. A heart that couldn't. She's learned to adapt, roll with the punches. Then she found her constants, and had no plans of losing them anytime soon. But when her father, billionaire Victor Pierson, decides to upend her life for the second time, she has no choice but to leave the only life she's known. Even if it was one she wished she could forget. Saint Andrews. Golden Boy. Dark Soul. Lead singer and guitarist in an up and coming rock band. Star athlete at Weston Prep. Son of the one of the richest couples in America. He only has 1 rule: Don't ever let anyone close to him. Ever. Again. It has to be written in fate. Valen and Saint's hatred for one another in undeniable, and unavoidable. But the same could be said for their attraction. Their families are close. And when it comes to business, they're even closer. Constantly thrown together, they either can't get away or can't get enough. What starts as a a simple favor to the cruelest boy in NYC, turns into something much more dangerous. Valen needs him to let go. And Saint might just have let her in.

"How could I ever trust someone again when the world had already let me down?" I whispered to myself, standing at the edge of the city, my bag packed with everything I had left. My heart ached for a future that seemed uncertain, one where love felt impossible. But that was before I met him. Before Nathan Anderson, the boy who would challenge everything I thought I knew about myself." -------------- Pia has always kept her heart guarded, shaped by the scars of her past. Forced to leave behind a small town and a life full of struggles, she's now in a world where everything feels foreign-luxury, expectations, and the constant pressure to succeed. At 17, she's determined to prove that she can make it on her own, even if it means keeping everyone at arm's length. Nathan is everything Pia isn't popular, confident, and effortlessly charming. At 17, he's the star of his school, his future already planned out by a life of privilege. Yet there's something about Pia that intrigues him, something that makes him want to know her beyond the walls she's built around herself. The more he observes her, the more he feels drawn to a side of her he can't quite understand. As their paths cross, emotions stir, and what started as a simple connection becomes a tangled web of uncertainty. Can Pia open up to someone who seems to have everything, or will her past keep her from embracing the future? And for Nathan, can he break through her defenses, or will his own fears stand in the way? "Fate brought them together, but can they hold on when everything else pulls them apart?"

When It All Falls Down by AuggiePooh_

He smirks, "You've finally cracked." I furrow my eyebrows, "You were baiting me? Jerk, just turn off your music!" "Or what?" He asks teasingly. "Or..or I'll tell the front office!" He shrugs, "Go ahead, you're the only one complaining." I glare at him, "Ooh you are so!" He looks at me amusingly, "So what?" "So!" He brings his face closer to mine, "Say what you want to say." His voice was low as he stared into my eyes. I was suddenly mute, completely drawn into those warm brown eyes. I don't know why I did, but I leaned into him. Our lips finally colliding. His arms pull my body closer to his as he kisses me hungrily. - It all started with a stupid dare. 21-year old transfer student Amina Bassey always had a plan.
