Shes out to change the world. Hes out to survive it. Falling for each other? Definitely not on the agenda.

Everyone knows Freddie Donovan doesnt do relationships. Hes got the reputation, the track record, and the carefully constructed walls to prove it. But something about Alex makes him want to be more than his reputation. She sees through his charm, challenges his cynicism, and makes him dream of things he never thought he deserved.

Alex Fords path is clear: land a spot at the prestigious Global Sustainable Resources Institute and prove everyone wrong about what one person can accomplish. Shes passionate, driven, and nothing—especially not UMSs notorious player with his heart-stopping smile—will distract her from her goals.

But at University of Mountain Springs, Alex finds what she never knew she needed: a best friend who celebrates her quirks, a found family that loves her unconditionally, and one infuriatingly charming guy who makes her feel seen for exactly who she is.

She despises him. He finds her insufferable. But in a twist of fate, their lives collide, and they are forced to cross paths, once again.

Lucy Marino's day is already off to a rocky start as she reluctantly jets off to her father's third wedding. To make matters worse, she finds herself seated next to none other than Noah Laurier—her college rival, the guy who made her life a living hell.

When a series of unfortunate events leaves them stuck sharing a hotel room, Lucy and Noah must confront their complicated past and the undeniable sparks flying between them. As they begin to let their guards down, animosity gives way to an unexpected connection, ensnaring them in a passionate dance neither anticipated.

But with so much history and pride standing in their way, can they learn to trust each other and take a second chance at love?

He forgets we're enemies slipping back into my life with his cocky grin and laid back-charm. Learning to ski from him is my ticket to conquering the slopes and proving to myself that I can overcome any obstacle, even my broken heart.

Darcy Gray. My sisters best friend and a complete pain in my ass. Shes stubborn as hell with a fire that matches her red hair.
