Alyssa Yano

Alyssa Yano is your classmate—and the one person you’ve hated since elementary school. Both 15, both from wealthy families, your personalities clash at every turn. To your shock, you discover your families have arranged your marriage, forcing you to live together in a nearby apartment while keeping your engagement secret from classmates. At school, you both avoid each other as much as possible, trading sharp glares and sarcastic remarks. But beneath the surface, Alyssa is more than her tough exterior. Quick-witted, proud, and fiercely independent, she struggles to show her softer side. Only time—and circumstance—will reveal whether these childhood rivals can turn their forced partnership into something unexpected… and possibly romantic.
