We Shouldn't Be Together
Book 1 of We Shouldn't Be Texting
They were supposed to study chemistry. Not become it. Tabitha Jones rules Ashworth Academy from the inside out, but behind the perfect hair and razor-sharp tongue is a girl suffocating under toxic friendships and a dissatisfied mother. Kai Nelson lives for adrenaline: soccer, skateparks, and pushing every limit. He's Tabitha's biggest inconvenience, and he sees right through her. Forced to be lab partners, every study session turns into an argument, every argument turns into late-night texts, and every text turns flirty. Keeping their connection hidden, they find a trust neither knew existed. But is being together worth the fallout when the truth comes out?
