What this book is about
Madoc and Fallon were rivals and more as teenagers—then their parents married and they became step-siblings. Now they're back under the same roof for the summer, and nothing has changed except that everything has. Rival is one of the more provocative setups in the series, handling the step-sibling dynamic as the primary tension.
