Madison is a reserved girl with a comfortable yet uneventful life back home. She has good grades, a loving sister, and a father who's intent on her living her life to the fullest. But as soon as she arrives in Portland, thousands of miles away from her safety net, she's caught off guard by Archer, her new housemate. With his intimidating brown eyes, clipped replies, and mysterious demeanour, Archer is bound to wreak a little havoc whether she wants him to or not. He doesn't want her to pick up the pieces of his broken self as many have tried and she doesn't plan on upending her new life for a boy who won't even spare her a glance. Over time and amidst the various little white lies and destructive mistakes, they continue to hide their feelings. She wishes to protect her newfound friendships and he wishes to battle his demons alone. He'll promise her he needs her when no one's around to hear then insist there isn't anything between them when suspicions start to raise. Faced with situations she could only dream of and challenges she thought she'd never overcome; she has to hold herself together while her world crumbles around her. Will Madison throw caution to the wind and risk losing everything for someone who wouldn't do the same for her?

There's a warmth beneath his quiet demeanor, an intensity in his gaze that sparks something unexpected within her. Now she just needs to make sure she gets her car fixed without getting her heart broken.

Ethan doesn't just want to win. He wants her - completely. ‎ ‎What happens when hate turns into temptation? ‎When the boy she swore to hate becomes the only one she can't live without? ‎ ‎For Ethan, it all started as a bet. "I'll just make her fall for me and then dump her like I did to her friend." ‎But somewhere along the line, the rules changed. "I need her in my life.
