Camille Hayes knows exactly who Kane Rhett Mercer is to her. Her brother's best friend. A constant problem. Someone she's spent years trying not to get too close to. He's arrogant, relentless, and always pushing-always saying the wrong thing at the worst time, just to get under her skin. And it works. It always works. Hating him has never been hard. It's what keeps things simple. But college has a way of changing everything-blurring lines, breaking rules, and forcing people into versions of themselves they don't recognize. One night is all it takes. One moment where control slips, where space disappears, where Rhett stops being a joke and starts seeing her-really seeing her. And suddenly, hate doesn't feel as safe as it used to. Because the more she tries to pull away, the closer he gets. And the worst part? A small, dangerous part of her doesn't want him to stop.
