Freckles

What do you get when you dare a socially awkward freshman to kiss the famous wide receiver she's never spoken to? Not accidental flashing, a sweet-smelling jacket and a best friend that you occasionally make out with, right? RIGHT?

Wrong.

Meet Calliope Archer, or as most people knew her, Luke Archer's little sister. Who's Luke, you might ask? Oh, just the famous footballer who was the idol of almost the entire university. In his presence, no one had really given Callie a second thought, unless it was to use her to get to her brother, of course.

Enter Jace Wallace, a struggling wide receiver/perfectionist whose world revolved around football and sex. Finding himself at a celebration party of his recent victory in being Man of the Match, he didn't expect to find a strange girl who had a bad case of word vomit, throw herself at him. Girls throwing themselves at him wasn't anything new but for some reason, this particular girl fascinated him. Especially when she became his close friend and managed to creep under his skin in that innocent way of hers like no other. But Jace had a secret; he destroyed everything he touched. So when Callie started to become a person he couldn't survive without, there arose a teeny tiny worry.

Will his feelings for her eventually cause her demise? Will he kill everything good and pure in her, in an effort to save himself?

Because that's the problem with letting someone in, right? They have the power to hurt you. And Callie has already been hurt one too many times.

Follow Callie and Jace's story as they wade through the ill-defined disaster that was their friendship.
