In this opposites attract romance for fans of Begin Again and Better Than the Movies, a fresh start doesn't have to mean changing yourself.

With her heart broken, \""Evie\"" Riley arrives at Camden Academy ready for a new beginning. But her fresh start is stopped in its tracks when she's accidentally placed in an all-boys dorm, with no choice but to stay.

When rumours and gossip about Evie spread like wildfire, she decides the only way to survive is to lean into her questionable new reputation... but she's definitely going to require help. Her grumpy dorm mate Salem Grayson isn't her first choice, but they make a pact- he'll teach her how to be bad, if she teaches him how to be good.

But what happens when their pact turns into something more and Evie has to decide whether to put her thrice-broken heart on the line again...
