Description
When Matteo De Luca, a strikingly tall, tan, and sharp-witted sixteen-year-old, steps into Elmwood High straight from a private school in Madrid, he catches everyone's attention. But none of his charm or golden confidence fazes Claire Stevens, the brilliant brunette with cheek dimples who's used to everything running perfectly in her life. Their first encounter at a class trip to the zoo sets the tone-Claire's icy glares meet Matteo's cocky smirks, and the war is on. Claire can't stand Matteo's loud laughter and carefree attitude, labeling him a spoiled troublemaker who gets away with everything. Matteo, on the other hand, is drawn to Claire's fiery spirit and mysterious depth, even if he can't resist teasing her to watch her fight back. When a school trip to the mountains throws them together, the line between rivalry and something more begins to blur. As the year progresses, their connection becomes undeniable-filled with heated arguments, stolen glances, and moments they can't quite explain. Matteo hides a soft side behind his confident facade, while Claire struggles to admit her own conflicted feelings. Beneath the layers of hatred, there's something neither of them wants to face: the possibility that they're exactly what the other needs. Told through alternating perspectives, The Fine Line Between Us is a gripping enemies-to-lovers romance about tension, self-discovery, and the undeniable pull of opposites. Perfect for readers who love banter, chemistry, and heart-pounding twists.
