"Carriwitchet, the violent, rugby-esque game played atop winged beasts, was once Taissa Cho's whole life, and she was once the United Kingdom's most promising player. Until her nemesis, rival player Kion Locke, destroyed her career in a single moment. Expelled from the sport in disgrace, Taissa has spent the last two years dreaming of nothing but revenge and relishing watching Kion's team plummet to the bottom of the league. So when Taissa is offered the chance to redeem herself and her career, she can't refuse -- even if the offer is coming from the very man who ruined everything in the first place. It's close to a dream come true ... except for that pesky clause in her contract that demands she and Kion enter a fake relationship in order to garner some much-needed positive PR for the team. This could not be a worse match. Taissa and Kion only have two things in common: their love of the game, and their undying hatred for each other. Yet as a mysterious illness befalls the winged creatures of the entire league -- putting both the beasts' lives and the very sport itself at stake -- the athletes find themselves partnering up in other ways, determined to crack the case of the eerie sickness. As their investigation takes them on a whirlwind adventure, Kion and Taissa are prepared for anything ... Anything, that is, but their fake-for-the-cameras relationship to maybe, just maybe, become something real after all"-- Provided by publisher.
