Summary
Lexa is the frontwoman of The Grounders, a pop-rock band whose last album fell a little flat. Clarke Griffin is a falsey branded nice girl next door making pop folk music. They're on the same label and both not doing so hot, and they have a long history of hating each other.
The executives of the label think there’s a perfect way to revive both struggling artists as they watch a cheeky internet feud unfold in real time and the corresponding amount of comments on how hot and flirty it is from fans.
Monday morning, Clarke and Lexa find themselves in the head of marketing’s office with the c-suite team with a new proposal:
They need to pretend to be a couple as a publicity stunt, or they’re losing their contracts. And the catch? They have to write and record a sexy song together and perform it live on a few big stages to sell the relationship to the public….or they’re off the label for good.

Summary
She isn’t even sure why she’s considering this. She’s met Lexa once, at the hospital - Lexa invited her out for a drink. Maybe Lexa just wants to hook up.
That thought stirs something in the pit of her stomach that reverberates through her body. Lexa was…stunning and intense and now Clarke remembers those leather pants.
Who says they have to date or be anything serious? Why can’t Clarke just have a little fun? God knows she’s earned it.
or
Clarke has no time to date and Lexa doesn't want a relationship. So why not give into temptation a little? No romance, no attachment, just fun. How hard can it be?

Summary
Sometimes, Lexa feels like she was born into this world already fighting. Her hands balled into fists, her jawline clenched, her body tense and on guard, ready. Sometimes, she felt like the bubbling well of fury that simmered underneath her skin was the only thing that sustained her, kept her alive, and that if she paused – took stock, took a breath and let it seep out of her, she would crumple.
Sometimes, fighting isn't enough.

Lexa is an outsider, all dark leather and sharp cheekbones, smoking cigarettes behind the gym...
and Clarke Griffin can't keep her eyes off her.

Summary
“I like a lot of people Lexa.” Clarke said, lifting her eyes. She felt exhausted, her limbs felt lifeless, heavy. “I really like you.” She curled her fingers into Lexa’s, meeting her gaze which was unfathomable. “But I don’t want to forget who I am.”
Lexa’s eyes darkened. She felt her grip slacken and pull away. For a split second, Clarke saw her resolve melt away, which was quickly replaced by a neutral expression, her jawline hardened.
“I understand, Clarke. We want different things. We’re different people.”
