Sierra Delaine has three rules for surviving college: stay invisible, stay out of drama, and absolutely stay away from Adonis Veylor, the Frostbites’ star forward with the perfect jawline, an ego as big as the rink, and a smirk that drives her insane. She hates him. She hates how everyone worships him, how he coasts through life with that maddening charm, and most of all, how her chest still tightens every time his name comes up. But when a single candid photo convinces the entire campus that Sierra and Adonis are secretly dating, her world flips upside down. The gossip spirals, her anonymity as a campus columnist is suddenly at risk, and Adonis… doesn’t deny it. Instead, he leans into the rumor, practically daring her to play along. Now, against every stubborn bone in her body, Sierra finds herself fake-dating the one guy she swore she couldn’t stand. Pretending is supposed to be simple—hold his hand in public, smile for the crowd, ignore the fact that he smells unfairly good when he leans too close. But the more time she spends with him, the more the lines blur between staged affection and something dangerously real. Because Adonis isn’t just cocky. He’s annoyingly attentive. He notices things no one else does. And beneath all the banter and teasing, Sierra can’t help but wonder if maybe she doesn’t hate him as much as she thought. The problem? Falling for her fake boyfriend isn’t in the plan. And when secrets, rivalries, and jealousy threaten to unravel everything, Sierra has to ask herself, can she really keep her heart safe when the game stops being fake?
