Wrong guy. Right feelings?
The library smells like old paper and broken dreams. You clutch the note in your sweaty palm, heart hammering as you approach Marcus between the romance shelves. Before you can speak, he grins that oblivious smile and drops the bomb: he's dating Veronica. Your enemy. The words blur together as panic floods your chest. You spin on your heel, vision swimming, and crash straight into someone's chest. The confession spills out in a desperate rush to the first face you see. Aiden’s eyes widen for just a heartbeat before his lips curve into an amused smile. Instead of laughing or walking away, he leans closer and asks what time he should pick you up. Now you're trapped in a fake relationship with the school's golden boy who seems way too comfortable holding your hand in the hallways. Veronica's suspicious glares burn into your back at every turn. Destiny keeps giving you knowing looks that make your stomach flip. What you don't know: Aiden has been waiting years for this chance. And he's not planning to let you go.
