Ellie

My life is falling apart. Fast!

I have nowhere to go, and time is running out. If I don’t find a place to live soon, I’ll be out on

the streets.

My only hope? Jaydon, my best friend’s older brother. The guy l’ve spent years arguing with, the one person who gets under my skin like no one else can. Living under the same roof as him is a nightmare waiting to happen. To keep my distance and my sanity, I do the only thing I can start dating someone else, using him as a shield, just to keep Jaydon at arm’s length.

My life is falling apart. Fast!

I have nowhere to go, and time is running out. If I don’t find a place to live soon, I’ll be out on

the streets.

My only hope? Jaydon, my best friend’s older brother. The guy l’ve spent years arguing with, the one person who gets under my skin like no one else can. Living under the same roof as him is a nightmare waiting to happen. To keep my distance and my sanity, I do the only thing I can start dating someone else, using him as a shield, just to keep Jaydon at arm’s length.

Jaydon

I know offering Ellie a place to stay is a terrible idea, but I do it anyway. Maybe

It’s because I love riling her up, the glare she gives me, or maybe it’s because I can’t ignore

the way she makes me feel.

We set rules, clear boundaries.

No lines will be crossed.

But the more I push her, the more she pushes back. She might tell me she hates me, but I

know somewhere deep down she wants me just as bad as I want her.

When things get heated, the angst amps up, and they both realize that no matter how many rules they put in place to keep them apart rules were meant to be broken.
