About this ebook
A heartbroken girl, a pact with the bad-boy, and one rule neither of them expected to break: don’t fall for each other
–
Fresh off a betrayal by her ex, her sister, and her best friend, Everett "Evie" Riley lands at Camden Academy craving a fresh start.
But when she's mistakenly placed in an all-boys dorm, gossip spreads fast - and her only option is to embrace her new bad-girl rep.
Enter Salem Grayson: grumpy, emo, and reluctantly helpful. They strike a deal - he’ll teach her how to be bad, if she helps him look good for his estranged parents.
The plan is perfect... until feelings get in the way.
As Salem thrives and Evie flounders, she must decide if she’s ready to risk her bruised heart one more time.
Come As You Are is a sharp, swoony story about self-worth, second chances, and unexpected love.
Tropes:
- Opposites attract
- Unexpected love
- Friends to lovers
- Relationship Pact
- Sunshine/Grumpy Romance
