One month. One lie. One boy who was never supposed to matter.
Seventeen-year-old Cleo Coldwell has a secret, and her so-called friend is holding it over her like a knife. The only way to keep it buried? Win a cruel little game: make the quiet, bookish nerd fall in love with her in thirty days, and the secret stays safe. Lose the bet... and everything she's worked to protect gets exposed.
Enter Noah Davis, top of the class, emotionally unavailable, allergic to drama. Getting close to him won't be easy, but Cleo has a plan: ask him to tutor her in a subject she's already acing. Pretend to need him. Pretend to care.
But somewhere between library study sessions and weekend meet-ups, the lines begin to blur. Noah isn't just smart, he's kind, honest, and unexpectedly funny. And Cleo? She's forgetting the rules, forgetting the clock, and worst of all-forgetting it was ever a game.
When the truth comes out, as it always does, someone's going to lose.
And in this game of hearts, love might be the ultimate forfeit.

Tempted Heart | Our Heart's 1
Lena Rose has always been the perfect daughter. Sharp, graceful, obedient-raised in a world where expectations are everything and emotions are a luxury she can't afford. But beneath the surface of flawless grades and carefully arranged smiles, Lena is unraveling. Torn between who she is and who she's supposed to be, she finds herself caught in a quiet war - between the boy her heart can't forget and the future her family demands. Evander Gray is the boy with a past no one dares to ask about-quiet eyes that see too much, hands that carry more grief than they should, and a heart he's learned to hide behind half-smiles and guarded silences. The boy everybody wants but knows nothing about the real him-of the life he's lived. He never meant to fall for her. Not her-not the girl who was just supposed to be his tutor. But some connections don't ask for permission. Some hearts break quietly. Others burn their way back to life. She finds herself trapped in lies, hate, desire, and trapped in a life that doesn't feel like hers. But the past has a way of returning. As truths unravel - about her family, her future, and the boy she once knew - Lena must choose between duty and desire, between the life she was given and the one she wants to claim. Can you really let go of the person who taught you how to breathe? "You're so beautiful, I don't think I'll ever get over you."
