Some games are meant to be won. Some are meant to break you.
Elara James wasn't looking for love when she started college. She was looking for a fresh start, good grades, and maybe a few friends along the way. She wasn't looking for Cole Ashford.
Cole Ashford was impossible to ignore. The star quarterback with a reputation that preceded him. The playboy who never stayed the same girl twice. The guy who thought the world revolved around him-and honestly, it usually did.
Their first meeting was a disaster. He gave her a stupid nickname. She gave him a piece of her mind. It should have ended there.
It didn't.
What follows is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance that will take you through every high and every low. The stolen glances. The arguments that aren't really arguments. The kisses that mean nothing to him and everything to her.
The heartbreak. The betrayal. The long, painful road to forgiveness.
This isn't a story about love at first sight. It's about love that's fought for, bled for, and earned over time. It's about two people who have to break before they can finally come together.
How long can you play the game before someone gets hurt?
