When a bubbly track star meets a grumpy Dutch baller... A college sports romance between two polar opposites.

Malika Danai is pressure. Friendly, social, and loved by all, Malika thrives in college and is often seen as a mirage - seemingly real and attainable but disappears when approached. She's a party girl to the core. Loves to drink, flirt, and explore with her best friends, Ayana and Isabella. Her beauty is undeniable. With curly black hair cascading over her shoulders and golden-brown skin that glows no matter where she's at, Malika's presence is impossible to ignore. Her dark brown eyes often sparks with mischief, and her full two-toned lips often curves into teasing grins that hints at secrets she rarely shares. Malika excels at a lot of things but she was never the study type. She prayed the night before exams and hoped that her grades would at least give her a passing score and somehow, that always worked. Until now... Her grades are barely holding on- good enough to pass, but not good enough for a sorority like the Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA). She wants to join. No she needs to. It's the only way she can prove to her mother that she's worth it. And she'll do whatever it takes. Even if it means casting her pride aside to get help from the boy who loathes her existence. Meanwhile... Theo Sinclair is a weapon. An academic weapon that nobody can beat. Coming from an old money family where the expectations and bars are set high, Theo surpasses them all and is often pushed towards greatness by his family. Yet he has a big flaw: boredom. Because of his uncaring attitude towards everything and everyone around him, Theo is often alone. Deliberately avoiding attention and validation from peers; he thrives in the silence and rhythm of his own scheduled routines. He has only one rule; 'Never let myself feel things I can't control.' To him, parties are ratchet and vile. An enigma vastly contrasting his reverence for solitude, silence, and carefully ordered thoughts. So when he's pushed into an unwanted arrangement, he resents the intrusion because slowly, his rule...

!WARNING! This novel is 18+ (though I know most of you don't care) It contains brief sexual encounters and touches a bit on sensitive topics like eating disorders, obsession and sexual assault you have been warned. One project. One stupid project introduced Sapphire to the love of her life and the end of what she considered normal. Liam, the name alone was enough to make her grind her teeth. The devil reincarnate, the name of the most self-centered piece of shit you'll ever meet, the name of the most annoying, maybe occasionally tolerable, and a little funny creature that society calls a man. Liam swears he's unbothered, but below, he's deeply affected by Sapphire's stereotypes against him. And through being forced together all the time by Cupid Isabella, the two are forced to talk and learn about each other.

Vulnerability isn't her strong suit. Healing isn't linear. And the hardest part of starting over isn't letting someone new in. It's finally letting herself out.

He was her brother's best friend. She was his greatest weakness. In a world of family loyalty, glittering wealth, and impossible expectations, choosing each other might cost them everything. Fiore Mio - Book 2 of The Endearment Series.
