Callie Carter is NOT running for Homecoming Queen. She just doesn’t have it in her after her boyfriend dumped her and broke her heart. But when her lifelong nemesis, Brielle, gets Callie’s best friend disqualified from the race, Callie’s done playing nice. She’s going to win that crown and finally prove her worth—to Brielle, to her perfectionist mom, and maybe even to herself.

The problem? Brielle’s got a ruthless streak and 200k Insta followers, many of whom attend their school. Callie’s campaign is doomed… unless she can totally switch things up.

Enter Zeke Harris—gamer, loner, and YouTube famous. With a massive subscriber base, Zeke could be Callie’s secret weapon. If Callie could persuade Zeke to help her win “nerd crowd” votes, that could change everything. But Zeke doesn’t do real-life friendships—until his parents threaten to cut him off from gaming unless he proves he can be social. Callie and Zeke strike a deal: she gets his followers, he keeps his consoles. Strictly business.

Callie never meant to fall for Zeke, but there’s something irresistible about his quirky charm and the way he sees the real her. With him, she can breathe, drop the act, be herself. It’s terrifying… and kind of magical. But Callie must keep those feelings—and their contract—hidden. Hanging out with a nerd is one thing. Dating one? Absolutely not.
