Hearts and Bruises

He fights for the thrill. She fights the feelings

Sienna knows exactly who Callum Brookes is. Everyone at HCU does. He's the star football player with a notorious reputation for breaking hearts, and rumours whisper he spends his nights bleeding for adrenaline in underground pub boxing rings. Sienna, surviving on the fierce loyalty of her six best friends has zero time for a wealthy reckless playboy. She's built a wall around her heart no one can breach. Especially Not him.

Callum doesn't do love. He doesn't have the luxury. Between balancing sports, studies, his own dark impulses and helping raise his two younger siblings, his life is a chaotic balancing act. Relationships are a distraction. But when Sienna effortlessly shuts down his usual charm, Callum is hooked.

So a dangerous wager is born: Callum bets he can make Sienna fall for him, all while remaining completely untouched by feelings himself.

As teasing smirks turn into real late-night secrets, and the heat between them threatens to burn down both of their walls, the game spirals out of control. In a match where the first one to fall looses everything, they are about to learn that when it comes to the heart... nothing is fair.
