When world renowned lawyer Kaniel De Rossi and an ambitious attorney Havana Young first meet, sparks fly-but not the good kind. They're on opposite sides of a high-profile case, and their rivalry is as fierce as it is personal. Neither knows that the night they spent together, tangled in sheets and secrets, is about to come back to haunt them.

They're caught in a whirlwind of tension, professional games, and simmering attraction. But as the stakes rise, so does the heat between them. Will they stay enemies in the courtroom-or discover that the line between hate and love is far thinner than they imagined?

Allison Waters has her entire high school life planned out-perfect grades, student council presidency, and absolutely no distractions. That is, until the school's biggest slacker, Nikolai Anderson, is suddenly forced to work with her. Nikolai is everything Allison can't stand-lazy, irresponsible, and far too smug for his good. He seems to enjoy annoying her at every opportunity, turning every interaction into a game of wits. But when their teachers decide that Nikolai needs to mature, he's assigned to help plan the Valentine's Day dance alongside Allison. Now, they're stuck together-choosing decorations, managing budgets, and spending way too much time in each other's presence. At first, Allison is convinced it's going to be a nightmare. But as they're forced to work side by side, she starts to see a different side of Nikolai-one that's funny, kind, and surprisingly thoughtful. Before she knows it, she doesn't hate his presence as much as she thought. Maybe she even enjoys it. But just as things begin to shift, rumors start spreading-ones that make Allison question everything she thought she knew about Nikolai. Betrayal stings, and suddenly, the growing connection between them shatters. With the Valentine's dance approaching and the truth finally coming to light, will Allison be able to let go of her pride and admit how she feels? And will Nikolai prove that he's more than just a class clown?
