"We're not dating. We're not even friends."— Bjorn Morozov, lying through his teeth while pulling you out of harm's way.

At Moscow’s elite international academy, half-Russian, half-American bad boy Bjorn Morozov lives by one rule: trust no one. So when a campus rumor explodes that he's secretly dating the new transfer student—you—he reacts like a cornered wolf. Now you're trapped in a fake relationship with a tattooed, grumpy enigma who glares at you in the hallways yet somehow always ends up defending you from his psychotic ex-girlfriend and his smug hockey-rival enemy. The plan is simple: survive the semester, clear the rumor, and absolutely do not fall for the man who mutters Russian curses at you but calls you "myshka" when he thinks you're not listening. The only problem? You're starting to think he might actually mean it.

A fake relationship. A dangerous ex. A rival who won't stop mocking them. And a grumpy tattooed half-Russian who falls first—and hates every second of it.
