Celestial: A Football Romance | 18+ | G.L. Lux
127 parts Complete MatureValia Ariti never asked for the spotlight.
That was always Bryce's world, Capesview's golden boy, star wide receiver, and everyone's favorite headline. She's spent her life in his shadow, and transferring to his university was supposed to be her way out. A fresh start. A name of her own.
But from the moment she sets foot on campus, she's still just Bryce's sister.
And then there's Arcas Briarwood, Bryce's best friend, Capesview's NFL-bound quarterback, and the one person who knows exactly how to get under her skin. Arrogant, magnetic, and impossible to ignore, he's everything Valia swore she'd avoid.
But fate doesn't care about her rules.
Thrown into each other's orbit, Valia begins to see beyond the charm and perfectly calculated smirk. There's more to Arcas, something real, something raw, and it terrifies her more than she's willing to admit.
She wasn't supposed to let anyone in. She definitely wasn't supposed to fall for him.
But sometimes, the person you swore off is the only one who truly sees you. And maybe, just maybe, the shadow she's been trying to outrun... is exactly where she was meant to stand all along.
