Series: Vinewood U #1
Harper Hale drives me insane.
She loves pushing my buttons, glaring at me from across the room, and never sharing her onion rings. She’s also my best friend’s cousin, who I’m forced to live with. And because the universe hates me, I’m desperate for her to be my tutor.
I have to survive microeconomics without tanking my GPA if I want a shot at playing hockey professionally. It takes sacrificing my pride, but I finally get Harper to agree to tutor me.
When I do, it’s like she’s everywhere all the time. I can’t escape. I can’t get Harper Hale out from under my skin, and for the first time… I don’t think I want to.
One True Annoyance is a frenemies to lovers romance with snarky banter, wars over onion rings, lingering looks, swoony moments, slow burn spice, found family, badass female besties, and plenty of hockey himbo shenanigans.
