Callie Winters didn't come to Harlow University to fall in love. She came to expose the truth — specifically, the truth about the football program's shady recruitment deals that everyone on campus seems too afraid to touch. Mason "Mace" Holt didn't come to make headlines. He came to play ball, keep his head down, and survive his final season without imploding. But when his coach threatens to bench him over his "distracted" attitude, Mace needs a solution — fast. Enter: a fake girlfriend. The deal is simple. Callie gets sideline access and a source inside the program. Mace gets a steady, wholesome presence on his arm. No feelings. No complications. No crossing the line. Except Callie is infuriatingly hard to ignore. And Mace is nothing like the golden boy she thought she knew. When Jade — the girl who broke Mace's heart two years ago — transfers back to Harlow, Callie tells herself the ache in her chest is just inconvenience. And when Mace starts pulling away, she tells herself it doesn't matter. But some stories are too real to stay off the record.
For every girl who ever sat in the bleachers
cheering for someone who didn’t deserve it yet.
And for the boys brave enough to finally
look up and see her.
This one’s for the slow burns,
the almost-moments,
and the words we almost didn’t say.
Let Kiaraknightauthor know what you thought about this chapter!
