Until a fake dating ploy gives them new perspective, and they realize that “falling for your enemy” isn’t as impossible as it seems.There are plenty of words Jonah Collins could use to describe Dylan Ramírez. “Arrogant,” “spoiled,” and “golden boy” to name a few.

But the more time they spend together, the more their plan begins to fall apart—and the closer they come to seeing each other clearly for the first time.
