Tiaras & Touchdowns (Michigan Series, Book One)

Luci Clarkson.

Quiet. Nerd. Shy. Freak.
She's the girl you wouldn't notice in a crowd; invisible to society.
Secretly walks through life, walking on an edge, fear so deeply interlaced in her bones that she can't help but flinch with every step she takes.

What happens when Luci catches her boyfriend in bed with someone else? and even worse who?

Having no hope for romance, she transfers, but what happens when she meets a man who ends up being nothing like she thought?
What happens when he shows her love is more than closed fists?

Will she let him in? Or run for the hills?

Marcus Crawford.

Reserved. Brooding. Sex on legs. Captain.
He's the guy you either already know, or want to.
Star quarterback for the Wolverines, except he doesn't live the party life you'd think.
College star to the world, but to his younger siblings? Their safe haven, always.
After years of abuse, Marcus snaps.

Marcus wants what everyone else has; something real, something his.

So, what happens when he meets her? What happens when the she turns out to be everything he never knew he needed?

Will he let her in? Or will he push her away to save her from himself?

"Bro, she's fine as fuck, boys."
"Yeah, l'd tap that...twice."
"I'd shut the fuck up, before I wire both your jaws shut."
"Damnn Mac..."
"Sorry bro, didn't know she was your girl like that."
"Now you do...so make it known, no one talks about her like that again, or l'm fucking wiring their jaw, yours included."

"Hey Lu..." a low smirk pulls at his lips, hooded eyes watching, staring, as a light blush coats over her facial features.
"Hey Mar" her voice comes out soft, almost breathless.
"You look beautiful," her blush deepens as his rasp surrounds her like a hug.
"Mar-"
"You're beautiful Lucille, I mean it."
"Thanks Mar..." her voice drops, just low enough for them as he steps closer and tucks a loose strand behind her ear.
"You don't have to thank me, Lu. I hope that one day, you'll see what I see, just how truly beautiful you are."
