Isabella Harrington has a plan. A long-term, carefully structured, romantically delusional plan-and his name is Elliot James. He's sweet, focused, golden retriever-coded, and completely unaware of her existence. Perfect boyfriend material, according to every Pinterest board she's never admitted to making.
Enter Archer Hart: broody hockey god, professional playboy, and the guy she definitely didn't have a one-night stand with freshman year and then pretend didn't exist. Now, thanks to one very drunk party, they're in a "mutually beneficial agreement" to fake date-her, to get Elliot's attention; him, to stay academically eligible and screw with literally everyone.
But somewhere between the act, the late-night study sessions, and the jealous stares Archer insists aren't, Isabella's perfect plan starts to fall apart. Because Elliot still checks every box.
But Archer... sets them all on fire.
But still, she is his. For now. Strategically.
She's his until-he's-hers.

Golden Boy
This is a rewritten version of Golden Boy! It's completely new except for the names of the characters. Everyone has that one thing that they fear the most, that if they ever had to go through it, it would traumatize them. For Elliot, it was having someone break into her house. She's been scared of that ever since watching Michael Myers stalk his niece from outside her window in Halloween, a movie that she shouldn't have watched when she was 8 years old. Elliot faces her worst nightmare when a strange person with unexplainable abilities finds himself in her room, uninvited on Halloween night. She wakes up the next morning with no memory of it. Elliot's senior year was supposed to be above average, in the sense that it would actually be fun compared to the first three years of high school. It was the last year she was going to spend in her hometown Ardsley, New York, before moving across the country to LA for college. She was going to spend it going to parties with her best friend Camilla, eating fro-yo every day, and prepping for prom and graduation. Elliot would never have guessed how a certain Golden Boy would have a hand in ruining her senior year. Now she was stuck uncovering the truth as she's dragged into a whole new world she never asked to be a part of, with a boy she's never asked to become friends with, and possibly gain a new outlook of life that might just keep her in New York for longer than she would have liked.Complete
