Nixon Cole is the star quarterback and the bane of my existence.

 

No matter how many times I tell the cocky football player I’m not interested, he doesn’t get the memo. Just because our best friends are dating doesn’t mean we have to.

So what if he has a sinfully wicked smile that makes my heart skip a beat and my stomach tighten? I’ve been burned by players in the past, and this time I’m determined to not play the game.

No, my intention is to stay as far away from him as possible and focus on studying so I can graduate early.

But my plans crash and burn when Nixon catches me leaving his coach’s house. He thinks he has me all figured out, but he couldn’t be further from the truth.

After one fight too many, I tell him the truth, but as it turns out, I’m not the only one keeping secrets.
