April showers

She was raised to be perfect.
He was built to dominate the field.
Neither of them planned on losing control.
April Winslow has spent her life playing the good girl. The right school. The right major. The right future, all carefully curated by a mother who never loosened her grip. But beneath the obedience is a hunger she doesn't fully understand yet, a craving for chaos, for choice, for something that feels like her own.
Junior year at Briar University is supposed to be different. A year of yes. Of risk. Of finally cutting her own strings.
Atlas Hayes on the other hand, lives by discipline. Soccer comes first and control is everything. As Briar's star defender with scouts watching from the stands, distractions are dangerous, and mistakes are unforgivable. Vowing to swear off girls and drama for the season, he dedicates his attention to Soccer.
But Atlas shows April a part of herself she never knew existed. A part that wants more than the nice, safe, predictable boys she is used to. A part that responds to tension, power, and being truly seen.

Instead of running from it, April leans in.

What starts as friction turns into a dangerous game, where sharp words mask deeper attraction and every encounter feels like a test. If Atlas is determined to keep control, then April will be the temptation that challenges it.
Atlas knows he should walk away. He knows desire is a distraction he cannot afford. But resisting April becomes harder than any opponent on the field, and control starts slipping in ways he never trained for.

Because at Briar University, some lessons are learned the hard way.
And when enemies turn into something far more dangerous, the rules stop mattering.

A dark, slow burn enemies-to-lovers romance about obsession, temptation, and the thrill of breaking the very control meant to keep you safe.
