She's the invisible girl. He's the playboy everyone wants. They're about to become roommates.Tori Adams has spent her whole life being overlooked. At Glory High, where everyone is rich or brilliant or both, she's just the scholarship kid with the sharp tongue and the broken heart. She's learned to keep her head down, her walls up, and her crush on the golden boy Richard safely hidden. She doesn't need anyone. She doesn't want anyone. She's fine.Then Aaron Carter walks into her life — tall, arrogant, with electric blue eyes and a smirk that makes her want to throw something at his perfect face. He's the new basketball star. The guy every girl wants. The guy who thinks he can tease her, poke at her, get under her skin just to watch her squirm.He's also her new roommate.Now they're stuck together — in class, in the same suite, in every corner of each other's lives. He's everywhere she turns. He's in her space, in her head, in her dreams. And worst of all? He sees her. Not the invisible girl. Not the nerd. Not the outcast. He sees her — the real Tori, the one she's been hiding from everyone.Aaron offers her a deal: he'll teach her how to get Richard to notice her. In exchange, she becomes his basketball buddy. Simple. Business. Nothing more.But the more time they spend together, the more Tori realizes she doesn't want Richard anymore. She wants the boy who teases her relentlessly, who makes her laugh when she wants to scream, who shows up when no one else does. She wants Aaron.There's just one problem: he thinks she's in love with someone else.And when a scandal threatens to destroy everything — her scholarship, her reputation, her future — Tori has to make a choice. The golden boy who never saw her? Or the playboy who always did?---She was invisible. He was untouchable. Together, they're about to become unforgettable.---A sweet, slow-burn romance about first love, forced proximity, and finding the one person who sees you when everyone else looks right through you.
