From The Publisher:

"Monica Murphy has brought us another read filled with excellent character chemistry and a great plot. I'm excited for the next one!" - Elle's Book Blog

Jake Callahan. Prince of the popular crowd.

My mortal enemy.

Gorgeous. All the girls want him.

Quarterback. All the boys want to be his friend. He's the most popular boy in the senior class.

And he hates me.

Or so I thought.

What I mistook for hatred turns out to be...interest. There's that thin line, right? It makes me crazy. I can't stand it. Attraction, chemistry, whatever it is, I also can't resist it.

And neither can he.

Together, we make no sense. The odds are against us. His friends definitely don't approve. I'm not a part of their crowd. Not one of the cool kids. I don't fit in, or so they say.

But that doesn't stop him from falling for me.

And it won't stop me from fighting for him.
