𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓 | Andrea Maxwell is done with athletes. Growing up as Beau Maxwell's little sister meant spending her whole life around post-game parties, locker room egos, and boys who treated love like a temporary distraction. After catching her high school boyfriend cheating on her, Andrea becomes convinced college athletes are all the same: charming, emotionally detached, and incapable of loving anyone for longer than a night. So when her film professor assigns a semester-long documentary project, Andrea decides to expose them. The Secret Lives of College Athletes starts as a cynical look into the culture she's spent years resenting - the hookups, the ghosting, the performative affection girls mistake for something real. What Beau and his best friend Dean Di Laurentis don't know is that Andrea already has her conclusion before filming even begins. But the more time she spends embedded in their world, the more her carefully built theories begin to crack - especially when Dean becomes the person helping her most. Late nights editing in her dorm turn into laughter, lingering glances, and moments of sincerity Andrea never expected to capture on camera. Because Dean Di Laurentis is supposed to be everything she hates in a college athlete. And falling for him might ruin every belief she's ever had about love.

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)
