Olivia Foster came to university for a fresh start. Jack Parker was never supposed to be part of it. He was the annoyingly charming rugby player she met once during Freshers, only to find sitting across the lecture hall days later. The boy with too many girls in his phone, too much confidence, and absolutely no interest in relationships. Liv couldn't stand him. At least, that's what she told herself. Somewhere between shared lectures, group projects, drunken nights out and far too many hours spent together, Jack Parker went from the boy she avoided to the person she trusted most. They were friends. Best friends, eventually. Best friends who slept together. And that should have been simple. Except Jack started getting jealous. Liv started looking at him differently. And somewhere along the way, the lines they'd sworn they'd never cross began to disappear. Because Liv and Jack were always just friends. Until they weren't.

One summer. Two Neighbours. A closed-off first-round NFL Draft Pick. A bubbly college girl. A small town beach town that makes it impossible to ignore each other. What could possibly happen?

Especially when he rather be anywhere else other than where he grew up. Especially since for the first time in a while someone's caught his attention and NOT in a good way. Things don't go as planned when Daisy Ledger finds out the super hot but rude assh*le from a run-in at her local supermarket is her next-door neighbour.

Things are never seamless, nor go by the planned route. *this book is mature for graphic scenes* tropes: grumpy x sunshine NFL player I hate everyone in the world but u roommates taking care of one another opposites attract

''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business. At least it's what he tells himself, until the feelings start getting too mixed and he ends up thinking of her more than he should. Maybe it's not all about business after all. He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.
