But life has other plans for Grace, involving a confident and charismatic basketball player who seems to have the entire female population under his spell. Everyone except Grace. Her strategy of staying in the shadows takes an unexpected turn when she's thrust into the world of college athletics, where she meets Lucas Anderson, the enigmatic star of the basketball team.
When Grace collides with Lucas and doesn't succumb to his charms like so many others, it's a refreshing change for him. He's used to adoration, but her resistance intrigues him like nothing before. As he introduces her to the world of basketball, neither of them anticipates the unique connection that forms. Lucas, who has never been interested in dating, finds himself drawn to her.

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. AOFunkeComplete
