Samantha Smith White, A strong, independent girl who's always in control of her own life. She's content with her own busy life, closer to academics and away from boys. Especially athletes who can charm their way into anything. But when Theo James Walker, the charming, confident star of her college soccer team and the most famous womanizer of the campus bumps into her, everything changes. And when they're forced to spend time together, will she be able to control herself and keep her distance from him or will the lines between being friends and something more start to blur, and Sam's carefully built walls begin to crumble.
Theo is used to getting what he wants. With his smile, his charm, and his status, he's always the center of attention. But Sam is different. She's not falling for his usual tricks, and that makes her all the more intriguing. As their playful banter turns into something deeper, Theo's determined to find out what makes Sam tick-no matter how many games he has to play.
From the thrill of victory to the tension between them, they navigate teasing, chemistry, and unexpected feelings. But when secrets are revealed and stakes rise, will Sam open up, or will Theo have to win her heart the hard way?
A story about games, love, and the battles we fight inside ourselves.

Before She Even Knows
''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business. At least it's what he tells himself, until the feelings start getting too mixed and he ends up thinking of her more than he should. Maybe it's not all about business after all. He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.Complete

In reality? They can't stand each other. Theo is cocky, reckless, and infuriatingly charming, the kind of guy who never hears the word no. Olivia is sharp, unshakable, and has zero patience for his smug grin or his legendary reputation. He thrives on provoking her. She swears he's the last person she'd ever fall for. But when their worlds keep colliding-on the field, at parties, through friends they have in common-lines begin to blur. Hate turns into something hotter, sharper, and far more dangerous than either of them expected. Because the only thing worse than despising Theodore Grayson... might be wanting him.
