Synopsis

I was never supposed to fall for Reece Wilson. But that’s the thing about bad boys; they always make it way too easy to forget who they really are underneath. He’s loud, cocky, infuriating, and somehow, the only boy who has ever made me feel seen. Until I overheard the truth. Two hundred dollars that he could get me into his bed before the year ends. A bet. That’s all I am to him. So I tried to ignore him, but Reece Wilson always finds a way, and now he’s everywhere—smirking in the hallways, showing up unexpectedly, acting like the bet never existed. Reece has always played to win, and this time, I’m the prize he refuses to lose.
