Mature

Devantay Hastings, star basketball captain falls victim to new student Olivia Abrams, gorgeous yet emotionally unavailable it girl who's presumably incapable of love. 

***

Unbeknownst to the public eye and seemingly everyone around her, Olivia has had a rough couple of years. Distancing herself from the toxic lifestyle her own family prematurely thrusted her in seemed like a temporary solution to her problems, even if college was apart of the deal. 

The last thing she expected was him, Duke's very own king on campus seeming to see right through her spoilt, aloof exterior and is more than determined to worm his way into her damaged heart. For as long as he can remember all Devantay ever wanted was to be drafted into the NBA. Until he met her. 

She's a complete smoke show he can't seem to look away from, but distractions have never looked so good. She's a beautiful mess he knows damn well he shouldn't get involved with, and yet he finds himself too far gone far too soon anyway.

But this one's different. 
He has to be.

Heartbreak Hypothesis by AOFunke

Seducing the captain of her school's basketball team was not the way Noah Bennett thought she'd start her first year at college. But when she's offered a huge amount of money by one of the most popular people at her school, she agrees. What Noah doesn't know is that the person she's trying to seduce is her latest sworn enemy, Daniel Brighton. This singular fact could have made bridging the contract impossible, but she finds herself doing exactly that; literally falling for the basketball player who may not be as bad a person as she initially thought. It's exactly at this point that she realises; she's made a terrible mistake. ©2022-present. AOFunke
