After fleeing a past, she can never outrun, Rosaline Sinclair, now Madeline Smith moves into a quiet apartment near campus, determined to keep her identity buried. But when she catches the attention of Jax Blackwood, the university's star quarterback and billionaire, staying invisible becomes impossible.
Jax Blackwood is everything she should avoid-charming, confident, and dangerously persistent. Yet, beneath his perfect image, Madeline senses his own shadows lurking just beneath the surface. As their connection deepens, so does the risk of exposure. Because Madeline isn't just running from her past-she's hiding from someone who won't stop until he finds her.
And if Jaxon discovers the truth, he might not just break her heart-he could cost her everything.

"Ava, you have to be quiet! They'll hear you-" Tears started to spill from my eyes, blending in with the rain that dripped down my face. I shouldn't have come here. The last time I followed someone I made accidentally noise and got them killed. I had to get away from Jaxon. I turned on my heel, ready to run to, but Jaxon grabbed my wrist. "Let go" I choked, "I have to leave. You're in danger-" The next thing I knew, his lips crashed onto mine. His arms wrapped around my body, pulling tightly to his chest. "Stop it" I sobbed, unable to control my trembling. "Why are you doing this? Let me go-" "I had to get you quiet" he murmured. "Please Ava. You have to try to calm down.
