Seventeen-year-old Harper Lane has always flown under the radar. A curvy, quiet junior with a passion for sketching dragons and acing calculus, she’s the kind of girl people borrow notes from but never invite to parties. That’s fine by her—Harper has no time for popularity contests or high school heartbreaks. Until he starts talking to her. Jaxon Brooks is Madison Grove High’s golden boy—star quarterback, arrogant heartthrob, and very much taken. He’s everything Harper avoids... and everything she secretly can't stop watching. But when fate—and an unfortunately timed biology assignment—forces them together, Harper discovers there’s more to Jaxon than flawless abs and Instagram fame. He’s been watching her too. Caught between late-night texts, hallway tension, and the spotlight glare of Jaxon’s cheerleader girlfriend, Harper is suddenly drowning in attention she never asked for and feelings she doesn’t know how to handle. And Jaxon? He’s playing a dangerous game—torn between the girl who fits his image and the one who sees through it. In a world where likes mean love and screenshots can ruin lives, Harper must decide if risking everything for Jaxon Brooks is worth the heartbreak... or if some boys really are Out of Her League.

Quelle est la première chose que tu ferais si tu renaissais ? Moi ? Je commencerais par divorcer de mon mari, Gabriel Delacroix. Oui, Gabriel Delacroix, le même homme qui dirige la moitié du monde criminel depuis l'ombre. Le Parrain. L'homme le plus riche du monde. Celui dont rêvent toutes les femmes ; son visage était partout sur les magazines, nommé « L'homme le plus sexy du monde » cinq années de suite. Dans ma vie précédente, j'avais tout essayé pour qu'il me regarde comme si j'avais de l'importance. Je l'avais épousé. J'avais donné naissance à son fils. J'avais avalé toute ma fierté en essayant d'être l'épouse parfaite. Mais ça n'avait pas marché. Pour lui, je n'étais pas différente d'une serveuse à qui il laisserait un pourboire — oubliable, remplaçable, invisible. Alors cette fois, je ne supplie pas. Je ne fais pas semblant. Je remets à Madeleine Girard la clé de ma place dans sa vie, et je m'en vais. C'est le premier amour de Gabriel, et aussi l'ombre qui avait hanté chacun de mes jours dans ma vie précédente. Madeleine était assise en face de moi ; elle a cligné des yeux comme si elle n'avait pas bien compris ce que je venais de dire. « Tu as tellement essayé de me repousser », a-t-elle dit lentement, les yeux plissés. « Et maintenant tu veux que je sois avec Gabriel ? » « Oui. C'est tout ce que je demande. Parle à Gabriel. Dis-lui de signer les papiers du divorce. » J'ai regardé son visage confus et j'ai continué : « Tout le monde sait que je ne pourrais jamais abandonner Gabriel. Alors si je dis que je veux divorcer, il ne me croira pas une seule seconde. Mais toi ? C'est toi qui peux faire en sorte que ça arrive… n'est-ce pas ? » Elle a ri, parce qu'elle avait enfin sa chance. J'ai ri aussi, parce que j'étais enfin libre.
