"You're all bark, no bite," Wyatt said, leaning casually against my bed, that infuriating smirk plastered on his face.
"Say that again," I warned, stepping closer.
"All. Bark," he taunted, his tone dripping with arrogance.
I shoved him, hard. He grabbed my wrist as he fell back, pulling me down with him until I was on top of him, pinning his wrists to the mattress.
"Not so cocky now, huh?" I shot back, breathless.
His smirk didn't falter. "You sure about that?" he said, his voice low. Before I could blink, he flipped us, and suddenly his body was pressed against mine, his face inches from mine.

After moving back to Colorado for her last year of high school, Tiktok influencer Lana McCormley wanted to focus on keeping her grades up, keeping her circle small and getting past her last year in hell. Sounds relatively easy, right?
Wrong.
Her brothers' childhood best friend, Wyatt Pyne has always been a pain in her ass.
Wyatt doesn't make it any easier. He thrives on getting a rise out of her, constantly testing her limits, but there's something in the way he looks at her now-a flicker of something darker, more dangerous. And the more they clash, the more undeniable the chemistry becomes. They're enemies, sure, but there's a magnetic pull between them that neither can ignore.
As much as they loathe each other, the lines between hate and desire begin to blur. The more they fight, the more they burn for each other, and it's only a matter of time before they give in to what's been simmering beneath the surface all along.
