Make It Look Real

At Kingswell University, everyone knows Aubrianna Williams.

She's the campus queen-the loud, outgoing, gorgeous junior who always has a crowd around her. Captain of the cheer team, daughter of a wealthy family, and the girl everyone wants to be... or be with. The only problem? Books have never been her strongest subject, and one failed class could ruin everything she's worked for.

Then there's Kai "KJ" Jenkins.

The star basketball player is everything Aubrianna isn't. Quiet. Reserved. Unbothered. Always hiding behind a pair of glasses with his nose buried in a textbook. Rich without flaunting it, impossible to read, and easily the smartest student at Kingswell. If there's one person who can save Aubri's GPA, it's him.

Too bad he wants absolutely nothing to do with her.

KJ's heart is still stuck on Sariah, the ex-girlfriend who shattered it. Even after she cheated on him and moved on with someone else, he can't seem to let her go.

Aubri knows exactly how that feels.

After her own boyfriend cheated, she's done believing in love. But when KJ refuses to tutor her, she comes up with a deal neither of them can ignore.

She'll fake date him.

Maybe it'll make Sariah jealous.
Maybe it'll help Aubri keep her scholarship.
Maybe they'll both get exactly what they want.

It was supposed to be simple.

No feelings.
No jealousy.
No blurred lines.

But the more time they spend pretending to be together, the harder it becomes to tell what's fake... and what's real.

Because sometimes the people you're trying to forget lead you straight to the person you were never supposed to fall for.
