Ivy Donovan has spent years making a name for herself on the basketball court, ruling Silver Ridge High with talent, skill and pure determination. But when their rival school, Westwood, is forced to merge with hers, everything she's worked for is suddenly at risk. Because now, she's not the only star athlete on campus. Liam Carter, Westwood's golden quarterback, walks into Silver Ridge like he owns it. He's got the charm, the talent, and the girls. He has everything to ensure his place at the top of the social chain. And if the school's new administration is looking for one student to crown as MVP, there's no way Ivy is letting it be him. With the entire school watching, their rivalry turns into a cutthroat competition of skill, strategy, and willpower. But as tensions between them rise, Ivy starts to wonder if Liam's biggest game isn't the one he plays on the field, but the one he's playing with her.

[COMPLETED] "We both agreed, Apollo! We said no feelings, no attachments! You promised you wouldn't get attached." I look down at my lap in worry and shame. I have no idea what to say, I promised her, but like an idiot I broke that promise. "Say something!" My breath hitches and I look up at my beautiful girl through my lashes, my eyes brimming with tears because I know after tonight we won't be seeing each other again. I stand up from the edge of the bed and walk over to her, watching as her chest moves up and down harshly with each breath. My eyes trail over the love marks I left moments ago when we were happy to only get lost in each other's arms temporarily. She's mad at me. I never wanted her to be mad at me. "I'm sorry, baby," I whisper reaching forward to run my finger along her cheek catching the falling tear that flows down her soft skin. "You promised." She whispers. I know. "I promise I'm not attached, Blue." Too late. ••• Apollo and Blue have a few things in common. They're both lonely, they're both sad and they both attend the same university, a place where they stumble upon each other for the first time. So when the two decide to keep each other company by forming a causal relationship, the hard-headed Blue sets clear instructions for Apollo. Do not get attached. #2 Dark // 7 April 2022 #1 Interracial // 8 April 2022
