Ballot Sparks

In a high-stakes school election, Audrey and Felix are rivals on the ballot, but one missed bus, a public rumor, and a fight for overlooked students may change everything between them.

Audrey has worked too hard to let anyone turn her ambition into a flaw.

When the student body president race begins, she is ready for speeches, scrutiny, and every eye in the hallway. What she is not ready for is Felix, the calm, impossible boy who steps onto the ballot beside her and somehow understands the pressure she carries better than anyone else.

They are rivals in public, opposites in style, and one bad headline away from becoming the school’s favorite rumor. But as campaign season heats up, a missed bus, a district transport fight, and a string of hard truths force them into the same rooms, the same work, and the same dangerous kind of honesty.

The closer Audrey and Felix get to the election, the harder it becomes to pretend they only want one thing.

In a school where everyone is watching, winning should be simple. Falling for the one person standing in your way never is.

Ballot Sparks is a clean YA rivals-to-romance story about ambition, visibility, school pressure, and choosing love without becoming smaller.
