It's a tale as old as time: two people want their exes back, and fate throws them into each other's path.
Millie Moon's heart shatters when she sees her previously long-time boyfriend-now her ex-with another girl at a party. In a desperate attempt to save face, she does what anyone totally sensible would do; she kisses someone else, her friend. When that doesn't work, she kisses another, a stranger. This time, it worked.
But what started as a silly and petty move that she was sure was just going to be an anecdote from the past, spirals out of control when said stranger is moving right next door; Arkin Crawford.
Could it get any worse? Absolutely. Millie soon discovers that the after-school extra credit she signed up for a few times a week isn't just any gig-she's now the new piano teacher for none other than Arkin's snobby little sister.

Fading Boundaries Again
Olivia Wren grew up in a strict household-the kind with rules for everything: when to go to bed, where she could be, and constant location tracking the second she left the house. Most teenagers would've rebelled. But not Liv. She followed every rule down to the last letter. So when she got to college, it made sense that she'd use her freedom to the fullest. Parties, late nights, no one watching her every move. For a while, it felt like everything she'd missed out on. But after two years, the freedom starts to lose its shine. With nothing solid to fall back on, Liv lets herself go. It takes hitting a low point to realize that the girl she's become isn't who she wants to be anymore. Then there's Jace Rylan Camden. The kind of guy Liv's sworn off. He shows up to class drunk on the first day-not exactly the best first impression. He's an athlete, lives in a frat house, and hangs out with his loud group of friends. Basically, everything Liv's tried to leave behind. But when casual class interactions turn into seeing each other outside of it, Liv starts to question whether she's really moved on-or if Jace might be different from what she thought. Especially when the two stumble into a fake relationship- kind of will be hard to keep away from each other this way huh?Complete![Pretend Hearts[VALENTINE'S DAY LOVE BIRDS AWARD WINNER 2025]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/388795627-256-k979353.jpg)
