Ian, the untouchable top student of Class 1-A, has never met anyone who could challenge his reign—until Gabriel Cruz, a transfer student with perfect grades and a maddeningly calm smile, arrives. From the moment they lock eyes, sparks fly. Used to being the best, Ian can’t stand how easily Gabriel matches his every move, both academically and on the basketball court. Their rivalry grows fierce, but so does the tension between them. Gabriel’s teasing words and carefree attitude infuriate Ian, yet he can’t seem to get the other boy out of his mind. As their competition heats up, so does the unexpected attraction simmering just beneath the surface. When a confession from a classmate sets Ian on edge, he’s forced to confront the jealousy burning inside him—and the confusing feelings he’s been ignoring.
