She slapped him once. Now she can’t stop thinking about him.
Violette never expected to see the blue-haired guy from the library again. That arrogant, gorgeous stranger who pushed her buttons until she lost it and slapped him right there among the bookshelves. She hoped it was over.
But fate has other plans. A mutual friend invites them both to the same party, and suddenly they’re thrown together. Forced proximity. Electric tension. And a connection that neither of them can deny.
Ciel turns out to be more than his smart mouth suggests. He’s intense, protective, and he sees right through her walls. One night, a shared glance, a whispered number—and Violette walks away with something she never expected: a chance at something real.
But as their worlds collide, secrets surface. Friends disapprove. Past hurts threaten to pull them apart. And the closer they get, the harder it is to remember why they should stay away.
One explosive meeting. One reckless gamble. And a love story that starts with a slap.
Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, opposites attract, and the thrill of a first love that breaks all the rules.
