Story Notes

“It wasn’t love at first sight. It was challenge at first insult. And neither of them stood a chance.”

This story didn’t start with love.

It started with a brat in a hoodie who didn’t give a damn about football…

And a quarterback who was used to getting everything he wanted—excepther.

Rowan isn’t shy. She’s mouthy.

Hilarious, defiant, quick with a one-liner and even quicker with a middle finger.

She’s also brilliant—28, a PhD student in aerospace engineering, with zero interest in college boys. Especially not the cocky, 6’5", 9.5" disaster who decided she was his new favorite problem.

But Kieran Holt doesn’t play fair.

He’s dominant, possessive, and entirely too patient when it comes to breaking down her walls. He’s 22, the captain of the football team, and chasing an NFL dream—but somehow, she’s the one thing he can’t shake.

They’re oil and water.

Brains and brawn.

Brat and bully.

And they fall for each other harder than either of them were ready for.

So if you came here for heart-pounding banter, elite-level tension, finger-on-the-trigger spice, and two idiots who fall for each other in the most deliciously slow, unhinged, possessive, and bratty way—welcome to Kieran and Rowan’s chaos.

And trust me.

This story knows how to score.

Summary

He’s twenty-two, cocky, and destined for the NFL. She’s twenty-eight, brilliant, and way too old for this mess. Neither of them were looking for love—but life doesn’t give a damn about timelines. Quarterback Kieran Holt has one goal: go pro. With scouts watching his every play and a future riding on perfection, the last thing he needs is a distraction. Especially not in the form of Rowan Krishnan—a sharp-tongued, hoodie-wearing PhD student who can dismantle a jet engine and his ego in the same breath. Rowan’s focused on research, not romance. Her life is complicated enough without a younger, cocky football player crashing into it like a meteor. But one heated kiss turns into late-night study sessions, secret dares, and stolen moments that blur every line she’s drawn around her heart. What starts as teasing and tension becomes something deeper—something neither of them expected. But with graduation looming and Kieran’s draft into the NFL fast approaching, the question isn’t just what comes next... it’s can they survive it together? A steamy, laugh-out-loud, slow-burn love story about ambition, age gaps, bubble tea, bratty comebacks, and the kind of chemistry that can ruin all your plans.
