At Westwood High, rivalry isn't just a game-it's a way of survival. And for Kael Blander and Callista Solace, it's practically tradition.
For years, they've been locked in an unspoken war: sharp words exchanged like daggers, stolen glances that last a little too long, a tension so thick it could snap. He's the untouchable golden boy, all charm and arrogance, while she's the storm no one dares to challenge-except him.
But when a school project forces them together, the lines they've drawn start to blur. Secrets slip through the cracks. Walls start to crumble. And the fire between them? It's no longer just sparks-it's a full-blown inferno.
Enemies. Rivals. Opposites in every way.
So why does hating each other suddenly feel so much like falling?

Going Full Throttle
~ 2021 WATTY'S SHORTLIST ~ "I-well, I..." I hesitated with my response. I wanted to let go. To not worry about what would happen in the future. I'd always loved staring into fires. It hypnotized me with its beauty and danger. It was so tantalizing to look at, but one little touch could destroy. I knew the heat between Tyler and I was similar. It started off small but it had only grown in the weeks he'd been here. We'd fed it unintentionally, and it had gone from an ember to a crackling flame. Every nerve in my body wanted to reach out and touch it, even though I knew I'd get burned. *************************************************** Pia Callahan always lived a carefree life with no worries. Her only responsibilities were to attend her college classes (sometimes) and keep herself fed (on ramen). When tragedy strikes, Pia is all of the sudden thrown into a whirlwind of change. She has to grow up and take on more responsibility than she could ever imagine: the custody of her best friend's son. Pia may not believe she is the best person for the job, but she is determined to do it. She'll trade in frat parties for PTA meetings and beer-bongs for apple juice. But what happens when the ruggedly hot motocross athlete Tyler Westwood shows up in her small town? Tyler lives on the fast track, never caring too much about consequences. You can't when your job is to do backflips through the air. Sometimes, you just have to send it and hope for the best. From the second Tyler meets Pia, he knows he wants her. But she is determined to ignore their bubbling chemistry. She has priorities now and a summer fling isn't one of them. Will Pia be able to stay away from Tyler? Or will she decide to hit the throttle? ***************************************************Complete

But Alexa's sharp wit and unwavering determination make her the one challenge he can't resist. Their rivalry is legendary, and Ethan wouldn't have it any other way.
