She hated men like him. Jayden Bellamy, the irreverent number 8 for Madrid Crown FC, was used to winning. On the pitch. Off it. Women, fame, money... he never had to chase anyone. Until he met the one girl who simply didn't care. Camille Reuter traveled to Cancún looking only for sun, sea, and an unforgettable week with her friends. The last thing on her agenda was entertaining the arrogant player who seemed to think the world revolved around him. He smiles. She rolls her eyes. He persists. She turns him down. The more she pushes him away, the more he realizes that, for the first time in his life, he doesn't know how to win someone over. What started as a battle of wits turns into a connection impossible to ignore. Amidst Cancún sunsets, unlikely coincidences in Madrid, unexpected trips, constant arguments, chemistry, and secrets neither was ready to face, they both discover that some people enter our lives precisely when we swore we'd never let anyone in again. But loving someone on that level means living under the gaze of the entire world. And when a single click is enough to destroy everything they were building, Camille must decide if it's worth fighting for someone whose life will never be normal. He always got everything he wanted. She always swore she would be the one exception. There was just one problem... He was never meant to happen.

𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 DARK ROMANCE "Fuck. You." I watched as the brown in his eyes darkened and he clenched his jaw. He stared at me for what felt like minutes and before I knew it, he had my back pressed against the wall. One of his hands was above me and the other gripped my jaw, sending thousands of shivers throughout my body but not in a bad way, again, only in an addictive way. "Talk to me like that again Elisia and I'll have you screaming it instead," he whispered, his voice laced with anger. His words suddenly sent a pool of wetness between my legs and made my heart beat a little faster. I tried to get rid of his hand on my face even though I knew I couldn't. When I didn't respond, he let go of me and stepped back. "Now get ready Elisia and if you're not ready by eight then I'll come do it myself," he threatened, walking away. I would love to see him try. Fuck him, fuck him, and fuck him. --- TW⚠️: abuse, intense sexual assault, violence, CNC, sexual content WITH consent, ⚠️ --- Complete but going through MAJOR EDITING
