By day, he's just Luca Devereux - the arrogant, too-smooth-for-his-own-good transfer student who never seems to take school seriously. But behind that cocky smirk and untucked uniform, he's hiding something darker: he's undercover, planted in the school by his mafia family to keep tabs on a powerful rival's daughter.
Enter her - Evelyn Reyes. Smart-mouthed, sharp-eyed, and sick of his constant teasing. She doesn't know who he really is, but one thing's for sure - she can't stand him. They clash over everything. Every. Single. Day. From class projects to cafeteria lines, their fights are explosive enough to turn heads.
But as secrets unravel and danger creeps closer, hate starts to blur. He wasn't supposed to fall for her. And she definitely wasn't supposed to be the one thing that could bring him to his knees.
Enemies in class. Lovers in the shadows.
When the truth finally comes out... will love be enough?
