When Tria and Kode can't stop clashing, it's impossible to ignore the electric spark beneath all that animosity—and when they finally give in to the chemistry they've been fighting, things get deliciously complicated. She's spent years invisible in her sister's shadow, terrified of being overlooked again, while he's starting to realize he might have been chasing the wrong girl all along. As their volatile attraction transforms into something neither of them expected or wanted, they have to navigate the messy reality of a man trying to make amends for his past mistakes and a woman learning to trust that she's truly the one he sees. In a story about the razor-thin line between love and hate, these two discover that sometimes the best relationships come from the most unexpected places.
