Brains, Blushes, and Bad Decisions

This is my first time writing a book like this. This is the shortened version but if this version does okay I put out the longer one as well. This a WIP and I'm just putting a portion of the book here to test the waters if I want to make it an actual full length novel. Anyways I hope you enjoy it.

Nova Carson didn't come to Skywell University for romance-especially not the kind that comes with a cocky smile and too many piercings. She prefers her books, her horror marathons, and the safety of staying unnoticed. But Danny Rose isn't the kind of guy you can ignore.
He's relentless.
He's infuriating.
And worse... he's exactly her type.
What starts as flirty teasing and late-night conversations quickly becomes something more-something Nova isn't sure she's ready for. Danny's protective streak and shameless affection are breaking through her carefully built walls, leaving her wondering if she actually wants them to fall.
But this isn't just a game of stolen touches and playful banter. With a date on the horizon, a Halloween party full of temptations, and a scandal that could wreck everything, Nova will have to decide if she's willing to risk her heart for the boy who's already decided she's his.
She swears she doesn't need him.
He swears she's already his.
And maybe... he's right.
