Dean Di Laurentis doesn't do complicated. Ivy Bennett doesn't let people stay long enough to become important. So when one reckless kiss turns into a friends-with-benefits arrangement, it comes with rules: no feelings, no jealousy, and absolutely no expectations. Simple. At least, it should've been. Because somewhere between late-night drives, hockey games, stolen hoodies, and quiet moments that feel a little too real, Dean and Ivy start blurring every line they swore they wouldn't cross. And the more they pretend it means nothing, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth: some mistakes are impossible not to make. --------- !NOT EDITED!

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.
