The GPA Pact

I don't just want to beat you, Silas. I want to ruin you.

Elara Vance has a 4.5 GPA, a perfectly color-coded life, and a scholarship that is her only ticket out of this town. Silas Thorne has a smirk that makes girls trip in the hallway, a leather jacket he wears like armor, and a brain that rivals Elara's-though he'd rather die than admit he actually studies.

For three years, they've been at war for the top spot. But when a high-stakes misunderstanding leaves them both facing expulsion, they're forced into a deal with the Dean: prove they can "civilize" each other by working together on the year's biggest charity gala.

To save their reputations, they decide to pull the ultimate stunt: Fake date. >
It was supposed to be a strategic move. A calculated lie. But as the lines between academic sabotage and late-night study sessions blur, Elara starts to realize that the only thing more dangerous than losing to her rival... is falling for him.
