An enemies-to-lovers story
"If your eyes only ever looked into mine, then you would know that mine only ever looked for you."
Rebecca Singh thought she knew what love was.
She had spent years believing in a promise made beneath a playground swing set, a promise from the boy who held her hand, picked her dandelions, and swore he would always find his way back to her.
His name was Johnny.
But when the day finally comes, and Rebecca waits for the boy she never stopped loving, she discovers the cruelest truth of all:
Some promises are only remembered by one person.
Heartbroken and humiliated, Rebecca is left picking up the pieces of a childhood dream that was never real. The last person she expects to find herself relying on is Levi, the arrogant, infuriating wrestler who became the target of her hatred after hurting her friend.
Levi Connors has always been good at fighting.
On the mat.
For his family.
Against himself.
But fighting Rebecca might be his hardest challenge yet.
She's stubborn, sharp-tongued, and absolutely determined to hate him. He's quiet, guarded, and carrying wounds he refuses to admit exist. They couldn't be more different, and they certainly don't want to be stuck together for a class project.
Unfortunately, fate has other plans.
Forced to work together, Rebecca and Levi begin to discover that the person they thought they hated might be the only person who truly understands them.
Between old promises, broken families, hidden regrets, and feelings neither of them are ready to face, they'll have to answer one impossible question:
What happens when the person you never wanted becomes the person you can't live without?
A story about first loves, second chances, and finding someone who will finally keep their hand in yours.
