Book 1| Completed | Zack Alan Hudson is the heartthrob of Maxwell high and a player on the football team. With a charming smile and reticent personality, it was hard for the girls to resist him. His main goal was to finish high school, enroll in a prestigious college and start a family of his own. The only girl he's got his eyes solely on was Jenna Coleman, the shy nerdy girl of his class. One drunk party night flipped his life upside down however when he hooked up with Jenna's sister, Daisy Coleman. What was a minor crush and a one night stand morphed into a disastrous rollercoaster of love turmoil when Zack suddenly found himself stuck between two uncouthly, precious yet dangerous lines.

"𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞?" "𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞." Nothing in life has come easily to Chase. He's had to work for everything he's gotten until she comes along and feels like the big break he's been waiting for all his life. Lexi may have stumbled into his arms, but he's going to have to fight like hell to keep her there; to earn himself a spot in her life, in her heart. But Chase knows that she's worth it, and he's no stranger to hard work. Lexi wants to be free, and Greenville is the key to the platinum shackles keeping her from escaping the dollhouse of a home she grew up in. Everything about her new home breathes color into her dull life, and she's not going to give it up for anything. She's going to make it on her own, and nobody is going to underestimate her this time. Lexi is built from materials much stronger than porcelain. Her high hopes may finally be within reach, and she doesn't plan on letting anything or anyone distract her from her future, at least not for more than one night. Apparently, Chase didn't get the memo.
