Peyton has always been the girl who flies under the radar-ordinary, average, never one to stand out. But that all changes on her first day of college when she crosses paths with Max, the campus' charming and popular football star. Their unlikely friendship pulls her into a world she's never known, giving her all-access to exclusive parties and the popular crowd. But it also draws unwanted attention, jealousy, and plenty of drama.

Things get even more complicated when Peyton falls for Beau, the irresistible guitarist of Trudge Lite, the up-and-coming band everyone's talking about. She knows he's the ultimate heartbreaker and tries to keep things casual-but when Beau starts texting her, Peyton finds herself torn between her desire for things just out of reach, the challenge of balancing new and old friendships, and a web of secrets that's becoming harder to keep.

Trying to balance it all, Peyton and Max keep up careful charades-not only from those around them but also from each other. Soon they'll learn that secrets have a way of unraveling, no matter how carefully they're guarded.All Rights Reserved

Connections | ✔️ by CxTannir

[COMPLETE] Soz this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.
