When Cleo Cunningham is invited to the literary competition of a lifetime, she figures it's just what she needs to cap off her gap year - the perfect addition to her college resume and (if she's lucky) a one way ticket to a full-ride scholarship.

But when Dane Anderson, an arrogant, self-proclaimed intellect who hates everything from the way Cleo writes to the way she dresses, comes onto the scene, the competition becomes about more than just the sweet opportunities it has to offer.

It becomes full-fledged war.

Rivaled Hearts by addiew_08
10 parts Ongoing Mature
Meet Tanner Bailey, the typical college jock-towering, broad-shouldered, and always dressed in a tight-fitting letterman jacket that seems like it's barely holding in his inflated ego. His chiseled features and confidence make him the envy of his teammates and the object of many students' admiration, but behind that athletic exterior lies a personality as sour as his smirk. Tanner is the type of guy who relishes in making others feel small, using his popularity and physical prowess to intimidate and belittle anyone he deems beneath him, which is practically everyone. To him, the world revolves around his needs and desires, and anyone who doesn't fall in line is just another target for his bullying. Beneath the surface, he hides a deep insecurity, but he'll never let anyone see it-not if he can keep up his act as the school's golden boy. Meet Harper Avery, a force to be reckoned with-brilliant, beautiful, and always in control. With striking features that could stop traffic, she's the girl everyone notices when she walks into a room. Her style is impeccable, always dressed to impress, and she carries herself with a confidence that turns heads and commands attention. But Harper isn't just a pretty face; she's one of the smartest people you'll ever meet. Top of her class, she excels in everything she puts her mind to, whether it's academics, debate, or any of the numerous clubs she leads. Harper is ambitious, and she knows exactly what she wants in life. She's not afraid to push others to meet her high standards, which can make her come off as bossy or even ruthless at times. Some find her intimidating, and there's no denying that she can be demanding. Tanner and Harper had always been on opposite sides of the schools social spectrum- she couldn't stand his entitled attitude, and he couldn't bear her constant need to prove she was better than everyone else, especially him. To outsiders, they were natural-born enemies, two forces destined to oppose each other.

Except, Kara has grown indifferent toward her boyfriend, doesn't care much about her parents' money, and hates shopping. Her motto is "fake it till you make it," and it's been doing her just fine, even if "perfect" doesn't actually mean "happy." When Kara receives birthday gifts full of betrayal and heartache, her perfect life begins to crumble. All Kara wants is to continue her grandpa's legacy by joining the family law business to help those less fortunate. Gramps is Kara's role model, and after she graduates from college, she wants to use the power of law to help people. But with her anxiety, stage fright, and well-practiced faux life, convincing her parents she's ready for the pre-law track seems impossible.

As their charade progresses, their chemistry grows, and Kara has to keep herself from falling for swoon-worthy, secret-keeping Dean. After all, how can two people living a lie ever truly experience love? Soon, Kara must choose: accept her true self and risk heartbreak, or keep faking it till she gets everything she's worked for.
