Just A Little Closer

Romy Velas doesn't do relationships. She doesn't need anyone-especially not Jace Weston, the annoyingly perfect guy who somehow ends up in her group project. Between his tall, athletic frame and his infuriatingly charming smile, he's the last person she wants to deal with.

But when they're forced into the same friend group, sparks fly in all the wrong ways. Sarcastic jabs, eye-rolls, and tension that's thick enough to cut with a knife-it's clear they can't stand each other.

Except, what if it's not hate? What if it's something else?

As Romy and Jace are pulled closer by forces they can't control, the lines between love and loathing blur. The walls they've built around themselves begin to crumble, and suddenly, it's not just about surviving each other's company. It's about figuring out what happens when the fight between them turns into something neither of them saw coming.

Can they step past the walls they've built and embrace something real? Or will their stubbornness keep them worlds apart?

Sometimes, love is just a little closer than you think...
