Jayden has everything-looks, power, and a reputation that no one dares to challenge at St. Vincent Academy, an elite school where status is everything. People respect him. Girls chase after him. Except for Rina. As the new student, Rina wants nothing more than to blend in and live a quiet life. She has no interest in the school's unspoken hierarchy or the power plays that rule its halls. But all that changes when Jayden sets his sights on her-turning her into the center of a bet with his best friend, Theodore. The goal? Make Rina fall for him. It should have been easy. Jayden has done this a hundred times before. But Rina isn't like the others-she doesn't fawn over him, she doesn't seek his approval. The more he tries to win her over, the more she pulls away. The more he tries to read her, the more lost he becomes. And before he realizes it, the game he started has turned against him. Worse, Damian-his own friend-is drawn to her too. And unlike Jayden, Damian never saw her as a game to begin with. As secrets unravel and the lines between challenge and reality blur, Jayden is forced to face a question he never thought he'd ask- Did he ever really want Rina... or did he just hate the idea of losing?All Rights Reserved
