To connect or link together, with the parts joined often having an effect on each other. When Jade leaves Houston for a fresh start at Colorado University, she's locked in on one goal-building her future. A paid internship as a photographer and videographer for the CU Buffs football team is the perfect step toward her dream career. She's not here for drama, distractions, or anything outside the frame of her camera. Her plan is simple: stay focused, do the work, and keep her head down. But then there's him. Shilo Sanders isn't just another player on the field. He's magnetic. Sharp. And impossible to ignore. He carries himself like he knows exactly who he is-calm, confident, and just mysterious enough to pull her attention every time he walks into the room. He speaks in a way that hints there's more going on beneath the surface. And the way he looks at Jade? It's like she's not just capturing the story-she is the story. What was supposed to be a job quickly blurs into something more. It starts small-lingering glances, shared laughs, close proximity that makes her heart race. The unspoken tension between them simmers quietly, but intensely, growing with every interaction. Jade didn't come to Boulder looking for love... but sometimes, connection doesn't ask permission. It just happens. Now, every moment on the sideline feels like a scene waiting to unfold. Every almost-touch feels electric. And despite her best efforts to stay focused on her goals, Jade finds herself drawn to Shilo in ways she didn't expect-and can't explain. Because some people don't just cross your path. They intersect with your story in a way that changes the whole narrative.
