Everyone knows me, Ace Kelly, as the life of the party and the guy everyone wants to know. But the one person who truly knows me? Julia Brooks. My best friend since we were kids. Julia’s the kind of girl everyone loves. Sweet, painfully beautiful, and steady, she’s always been my constant—my safe place. But now that we're at Dickson University, every time I look at her, all I can think is how much I want her to be mine. She doesn’t see it—or maybe she’s just scared to. I get it. Crossing that line could ruin everything–losing her would wreck me. But pretending I’m not in love with her? I can’t do it anymore. We’ve always had our fifteen-minute rule—get heated, get mad, hate each other all you want, but when the time is up, we're back to best buddies. But this time, fifteen minutes might not be enough.
