She needs a fake boyfriend. He needs a second chance. Neither of them saw THIS coming.
ELIAS Elise Walters has no idea I’ve been obsessed with her for ten years. The quiet girl who tutored me in senior year. The one whose horror stories I collected like a fu**ing creep.
The one I never had the balls to ask out. When she walks into my game with my best friend, James, I can barely keep my shit together.
She’s stunning and completely unaware I exist beyond “that basketball guy from high school.” Then I hear her desperately asking James to fake-date her for our reunion.
Apparently, the mean girl who made her life hell is still at it, and Elise needs backup. With zero hesitation, I offer myself instead. She thinks I’m doing her a favor.
She thinks this is all about her plan. Her revenge. Her backup. But… She has no clue I’d use any excuse to get close to her again.
Her plan is simple: we show up together, make everyone jealous, then go our separate ways. But I’ve wanted this woman for a decade.
Now that the universe has given me a second chance, there’s no way in hell I’m letting her go. Fake dating? Not a fu**ing chance.
