Don't Hate the Player, Hate the Game

Danica Woods has spent her entire life trying to escape Jesse Hawke.
Too bad he keeps following her everywhere.

Same schools. Same friends. Same city. Same toxic cycle they can never seem to break.

Jesse is LA's golden boy - football captain, emotionally unstable, and way too good at getting under Dani's skin. One minute he's tearing her apart with cruel words, the next he's in her bed acting like she's the only thing keeping him alive. And honestly? Maybe she is.

When they both end up at UCLA, old feelings, buried secrets, and years of resentment explode into something messy, obsessive, and impossible to ignore. Add parties in West Hollywood, exes with unresolved feelings, reckless nights, and two people who are way too addicted to each other, and suddenly "just friends" becomes the biggest lie either of them has ever told.

They destroy each other.
They protect each other.
And neither of them knows how to stop.

A story about toxic love, growing up too fast, late-night drives, bad decisions, emotional damage, and wanting someone even when you know they'll ruin you.
