Looking for a YA romance set at an elite private school (scholarship student, enemies to lovers)
I'm looking for a book I read maybe a few years ago (translated into Finnish, but I'm pretty sure the original is American).
Here's what I remember:
- It's the first book in a series.
- YA/New Adult contemporary romance with an enemies-to-lovers storyline and open-door/spicy scenes.
- The FMC gets into an elite private school on a scholarship because she couldn't otherwise afford it.
- Early in the book she catches a popular/rich girl secretly hooking up with a teacher.
- That girl's brother later blackmails his sister into keeping quiet about the affair, and he becomes the MMC/love interest.
- The FMC has a plus-size sister who designs and makes clothes for plus-size women.
- The MMC's family owns a clothing company/brand that originally made men's suits but now manufactures the school's uniforms.
- The FMC and MMC start out as enemies but eventually fall for each other.
I can't remember any character names, the title, or the cover. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
