From USA Today Bestselling Author K Webster comes an enemies-to-lovers, new adult M/F small-town romance!

She craves freedom from her overbearing family, and being a student at Park Mountain University is exactly that for her. Until she's partnered up for an entire semester with a surly, difficult man who despises her immediately for no reason at all. So much for an escape...

At PMU, I can finally be free to be my own person away from the Park family name.

This semester, though, my happiness is threatened when I meet him.

Tristan "Two" Sheridan is a grumpy jerk who nearly runs me over with his hunk of junk car and then has the audacity to blame me.

Our dislike for one another is instantaneous.

Imagine my horror when not only is he in one of my new "blow-off" classes, but I've also been partnered up with him for a labor-intensive class project for a huge portion of my grade.

His distaste for me is mild at first, but the second he learns my name, it turns to utter contempt.

Why does he hate me so much?

What did I ever do to earn such nastiness from a man I don't even know?

Beneath Two's crankiness are secrets-secrets I plan to uncover. With each encounter, I peel back more of the mysterious layers of the handsome man with the pale gray eyes and find there's someone likeable deep down beneath. And, despite his grudge against me and my family, I think he can't help but like me too.

As we spend more time together on our project, and just when I think I've got a handle on Two, I start getting harassed by someone else. This person stalks me at every turn, leaving me anonymous creepy notes and promises of a future together.

The stalker is the least of my problems, though. When Two reveals the true reason for hating me-the crushing secret that has tormented him his entire life-my own world is suddenly turned upside down. I feel inadvertently responsible and want to somehow make it all better.

A budding romance burns hot between us as our walls come down, but we have to keep it a secret. My parents will vehemently disprove of our coupling, and his will be utterly destroyed. Under the guise of our project, we're able to spend stolen moments together, stoking the flames of our growing feelings for one another, keeping the bitter truth from our families.

But my stalker has other nefarious plans that keep escalating in nature.

In order to get help from my father and my brother's cop fiancée, I will have to come clean. My life may depend on it. Ugly truths will be brought to light and Two's family will no doubt suffer the consequences. I dread the day I'll be forced to spill the truth.

Is this thing between me and Two worth all the heartache and pain destined for our future?

Only time will tell...
