Part of Boys of Avix
First published 2025
She crashes straight into Alister Howl outside Avix University, where the second-string quarterback flashes his smile and leads her directly to his bed. Then she discovers he's been lying to her. She cuts him off completely, but Alister treats her rejection like a game he's determined to win. His relentless pursuit starts wearing down her defenses just as she realizes she might be wavering. At a sorority party, she hides from Alister and ends up kissing Brady Lancaster, the campus playboy who never commits to anyone. Suddenly she's known as "Brady's girl" in a fake relationship she never planned. Now she's caught between two football players on the same team. Alister keeps pushing to win her back while she pretends to date Brady. She can't figure out how to trust someone who already betrayed her, but she can't shake the pull she feels toward him either.
