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.

I heard you're a player.
So let's play a game.
Let's sweet talk.
Let's play fight.
Let's talk 24/7.
Let's tell each other good morning and good night every day.
Let's take walks together.
Let's give each other nicknames.
Let's hang out with each others friends.
Let's go on dates.
Let's talk on the phone all night.
Let's hold each other.
Let's kiss and hug.
And whoever falls in love first? Loses.
If you asked anyone to describe Avery Harrison in three words, everyone would say; sarcastic, care-free, and stubborn. Everybody tends to love her, why? Because she's fun and always has something hilarious to say... Unless she doesn't like you of course, then you might call her; snide, sharp and bitchy. If you did the same with Hunter Matthews it would definitely be: hot, gorgeous, beautiful, and nearly everyone would miss the slight detail that he's a player.
That one slight detail is the entire reason Avery hates him, he threw girls away like old tissues, why would she?
But with one scheming best friend, they are both pushed into playing 'The Game' with a prize for whoever wins. They pretend to date and whoever falls, loses. The question is: who will lose, the girl against love or the player?l
