BEWITCHED ~ DEAN DI LAURENTIS

Dean Di Laurentis has three simple rules.

Don't get attached.
Don't overthink.
And definitely don't fail English.

Two out of three isn't bad.

Until Briar University's resident playboy, hockey star, and self-proclaimed legend receives the academic equivalent of a slap to the face: he's failing an in-depth poetry course required for his major. Desperate to save both his GPA and his reputation, Dean turns to the last person on campus he'd ever willingly ask for help.

Jade Henderson.

Neuroscience major. Walking encyclopaedia. Mahone's waitress.

A girl with chipped black nail polish, layered brown hair, and hazel eyes sharp enough to cut through every one of Dean's carefully rehearsed smiles.

The girl who caught him hooking up in the library at two in the morning and informed him, in no uncertain terms, that he was "actively traumatizing literature."

The girl who calls him Wayward Heyward.

Jade has her own rules.

Stay organised.

Avoid unnecessary emotional entanglements.

Survive living with Natalia, her dramatic and insufferable roommate.

And never, under any circumstances, become involved with Dean Di Laurentis.

Unfortunately, Dean doesn't understand the concept of staying away.

What begins as reluctant tutoring sessions in the library quickly spirals into late-night text messages, sarcastic battles of wit, horror movie debates, poetry analyses, hockey games, and an increasingly dangerous habit of seeking each other out.

Because beneath Dean's effortless charm lies a man capable of surprising tenderness and unwavering loyalty.

And beneath Jade's cool intelligence and gothic armor is someone who notices everything... including the moments Dean wishes nobody saw.

But when ex-girlfriends resurface, old insecurities threaten to sabotage them, and the line between banter and vulnerability begins to blur, Dean and Jade are forced to confront a terrifying possibility:

What if the person who understands you best is the one person you never expected to let in.
