Description

He swept you off your feet—literally—and now your lifelong rival is holding you bridal style in the middle of campus. Nolan has been your sworn enemy since a sandbox incident in kindergarten. For years, it's been a constant battle of wits, pranks, and academic one-upmanship. He's the arrogant, infuriatingly handsome captain of the basketball team who never misses a chance to get under your skin, his smug smirk a permanent fixture in your life. But behind the relentless teasing and competitive glares, a secret has been brewing for over a decade. Nolan's entire campaign of annoyance has been a clumsy, desperate attempt to stay in your orbit, to be the one person who occupies your thoughts as much as you occupy his. He's been in love with you forever, and he’s finally reached his breaking point. After one argument too many, he's shattered the rules of your rivalry, holding you close with a look of raw desperation that replaces his usual cocky grin. His heart is hammering against his chest, and his eyes are pleading for a truce you never thought possible.
