Sometimes the person everyone admires is the one who needs saving the least... and the one everyone fears is the one who needs it the most."
Sebastian Carter is the golden boy of Westbrook High. As captain of the varsity soccer team, he's handsome, intelligent, outgoing, and the upcoming Alpha of his pack and the kind of person everyone seems to love. Openly bisexual and comfortable with who he is, Sebastian's only goal is to survive senior year, make unforgettable memories with his friends, and earn a soccer scholarship.
That plan falls apart the moment he's paired with the last person he'd ever choose for a semester-long project.
Jayleen Ashford.
Rich. Gorgeous. Infamous.
Known as the school's biggest heartbreaker, Jayleen has a reputation for never staying with anyone for more than a night. With a sharp tongue, reckless attitude, and effortless charm, he's convinced everyone he's untouchable.
But behind the parties, hookups, and expensive lifestyle is a lonely teenager drowning in addiction and haunted by a past he refuses to talk about. His multimillionaire parents are never home, believing money can replace love, while Jayleen slowly falls apart where no one is looking.
Sebastian sees through the mask.
Jayleen hates that he does.
What begins as a project filled with arguments, sarcastic remarks, and constant tension slowly becomes something neither of them expected. As walls come down and secrets surface, Sebastian realizes he can't fix someone who doesn't believe they're worth saving, while Jayleen learns that love isn't something you earn-it's something you choose to accept.
But when Jayleen's past catches up with him, Sebastian must decide how far he's willing to go for the boy everyone else gave up on.
Because sometimes, the strongest love story begins...
