‼️ She doesn't do jocks. ❌ He doesn't do second chances. Pixie Duval is a freshman at SDSU with one rule: no athletes. She broke it once. One summer. One basketball player. Sweet where he should've been arrogant. Gentle where he had no business being. Then she vanished without a word. Now she's been assigned as social media assistant for the men's basketball team. Practices. Games. Road trips. Content days. And Theo Lawson. He's not that boy anymore. He's SDSU's star shooting guard-six-two of cold confidence and earned cruelty. He won't look at her. Won't say her name. But he plays harder when she's watching. Hits meaner when she's courtside. She thinks he's moved on. He needs her to believe that. She hates that he's hotter than she remembered. He hates that she still gets under his skin. Because underneath all that cold-he's still the boy whose heart she shattered. And he'll burn this whole season down before he lets her see it. One summer. Two years of silence. One basketball season that's about to destroy what's left.

🔥❤️🔥 Archer Cruz Cocky. Reckless. Fucks like he surfs - hard and without apology. Different girl every week. Humour to deflect. Charm to hide. He's called her Baby Brooks since she was ten. She was always one of the boys. Until she wasn't. Remi Brooks. Sharp mouth. Zero fear of him. She's the only one who sees past the bullshit. The only one who's ever calmed what he won't name.

🌊 Gabby Ashford doesn't belong in the Bay. She's from the Crest. Big house, absent parents, money that can't buy the one thing she actually wants. But years ago she found Theo Lawson, and with him came a crumbling house three blocks from the beach, a kitchen that always smells like coffee, and a brother who looks at her like she's trouble. She is. 🏄 Noah Lawson has enough on his plate. Raising his brother. Running a surf school on dreams and duct tape. Keeping their heads above water while their dad rots in prison. He doesn't have room for distractions. Especially not one with long legs, green eyes, and a smile that makes him forget his own rules. 🔥 She's his brother's best friend. Off. Fucking. Limits. She's also the only person who makes him want to burn everything down just to keep her warm. He calls her Stardust. She's been catching fire every time he says it. 💋 This is a slow burn until it isn't. And when it ignites, it doesn't ask permission. 🌴 Salt-soaked, sun-faded, and set in a small California surf town where secrets don't stay buried and tension doesn't stay in the bedroom. Best friend's older brother. Rich girl, poor boy. Age gap. And the kind of longing that ruins you in the best way. ⚠️ Content warnings: parental neglect, parental loss, DUI, underage drinking, explicit language, explicit sexual content, and mature themes.
