The Boy I Swore to Hate

Everyone at Silvercrest Academy knew one thing:
Kael Ashford and Lucian Vale hated each other.
They were the school's two most popular students, constantly competing for the top spot. Every argument between them became entertainment for the entire campus, and their classmates never stopped joking that they acted like a married couple.
Neither of them found it funny.
Kael was the untouchable king of the school-cold, intimidating, and impossible to beat.
Lucian was beautiful enough to turn heads wherever he went, but behind his graceful appearance was a sharp tongue and a stubborn heart that refused to lose to anyone, especially Kael.
When an unexpected event forces the two rivals to spend more time together, the hatred they've held onto for years begins to crack. Glances linger a little longer. Arguments become conversations. And feelings neither of them ever expected start to grow.
But just when Lucian gathers the courage to confess, Kael rejects him with words so cruel they shatter his heart.
As Lucian tries to move on, someone new enters his life and gives him the kindness he deserves.
Watching another person get closer to Lucian forces Kael to confront the truth he's been running from.
Now he has to decide whether he'll let the boy he swore to hate become the one he loses forever-or fight for the only heart he has ever truly wanted.
