Enemies. Pretend lovers. One dare that changes everything.
Aria Santos never expected to be trapped in a fake relationship with Ethan Cruz-the cocky, infuriatingly handsome guy who makes her blood boil and her heart race all at once. But when rumors spiral out of control, pretending to date becomes the only way to save face.
What starts as a simple act of convenience quickly turns complicated. Ethan is impossibly charming, endlessly frustrating, and increasingly impossible to ignore. From stolen touches to private moments charged with tension, Aria discovers that fake can feel dangerously real.
Jealousy, near-confessions, and the heat of a slow-burning attraction push them closer than ever, until one moment changes everything-a first kiss that can't be undone, a public declaration that leaves the whole school watching, and a choice they can no longer deny.
In a story full of sparks, laughter, and heart-stopping tension, Aria and Ethan must navigate love, trust, and the perilous line between pretending and falling forever.
