Dara Morgan is not what she seems. Sarcastic, smart, social outcast, she pushes people away before she can get hurt. Bridgette Taylor isn't who she appears to be. Bubbly, popular, sociable, she cheerleads to distract her from her problems at home.

A misunderstanding caused them to hate each other years ago, but the thin line between love and hate walks a razor's edge for Dara and Bridgette.

When they're paired up for a project at school, it seems like a disaster until they find out they have more in common than they thought. As they grow closer and work together to uncover a mystery, a stolen kiss might be just the thing to turn them from enemies to lovers.

But the road to love never claimed to be an easy one, and they'll need to put more than their differences aside if they want to make it to happily ever after. Or at least, graduation.



Schreese Lee has wanted to be a writer since she was eight years old, but life took her on a few detours. After getting her BA in English Language Literature from UC Santa Cruz, she began a robust career as a barista, which segued into culinary school and becoming a professional chef. After moving and cooking in San Francisco and New York, she returned to her hometown of San Diego and, thanks to a series of broken laptops and the notes app on her phone, continued chipping away at her goal of finishing a real novel.



She currently lives in San Diego with her husband, two very young daughters, and the world's oldest basset hound, Buddy.
