veins | jalen hurts |

"Something about being around you that gets under my skin and makes my veins itch."

After a devastating betrayal, Mali has to move and live with her older brother. To make matters worse, she also has to transfer to a new private college to finish her degree. Mali just wants to keep her head down and be left alone.

But what Mali wants, she might not get.

Her troubles start when she is reunited with her childhood enemy ( and old crush, but he doesn't have to know ) Jalen who she hates with a passion. Jalen also happens to be her older brother's best friend which means she's gonna be seeing him around. A lot.

Being around each other brings out the worse in them and may stir up something more than either of them realize.

Is the hate blinding them from what really is between them?
