Our eyes locked.

Xander Harrison is everything people expect him to be: the star football player with a cheeky smirk, cocky personality, ticket to the pros, and a past he'd rather no one dig into. Football is his only focus, and he likes it that way.

Andrea Taylor is his opposite in every way. A rising ballerina with a quick tongue, a goofy personality, and a world built around her two best friends. Ballet is her dream, and she's determined to keep it her priority

But then there were his eyes-hazel, the perfect swirl of green and brown, peeking out from beneath the mess of his unkempt chestnut hair. Eyes she could lose herself in without meaning to.

When their paths collide after a year apart, the tension between them is as sharp as ever. The arguments come easy, but so does the pull neither of them can explain. Even with all their messy history.

His light, though-dimmed ever so slightly since the last time she'd seen him. The sparkle in his gaze still fought to break through, but it couldn't quite hide the weight of a year's worth of justified secrets, mistrust, and anger he was working so hard to bury.

Xander Harrison was a little broken.

And God help her, Andrea wanted to be the one to fix him.

And when their eyes lock again, the chemistry is undeniable- electric in a way that defies explanation. After all, the eyes are the window to the soul-and eye contact can be a dangerous thing.
