A stupid bet was the only reason Asher Miller ever talked to Elyse Archer. She was everything he wasn't-popular, responsible, and seemingly perfect. He was the school troublemaker with a talent for bad decisions and absolutely no reason to be part of her life. Until one night changes everything. Suddenly, the boy Elyse barely knows becomes the one person she trusts to keep her safe. What starts as an unlikely deal turns into fake dates, late-night conversations, ridiculous arguments, and a friendship neither of them saw coming. Falling for each other was never part of the plan. Then again, neither was any of this.
