Description

He's the golden boy of campus, and you're the girl he just pulled from the deep end of his pool. Maddox Holt, the university's star quarterback, seems to have it all: fame, friends, and a future brighter than the California sun. But he's grown weary of the superficial world he rules. You, on the other hand, have always lived in the shadows, rendered invisible by parents who worship your popular, cruel sister, Chloe. Past heartbreaks and a lifetime of being treated as second-best have built impenetrable walls around your heart. At Maddox's legendary end-of-summer pool party, your worlds collide when Chloe's jealousy culminates in her pushing you into the water, knowing you can't swim. As your panic sets in, it's not a lifeguard who saves you—it's Maddox himself. Now, you're caught in the intense gaze of a man who seems to see right through the facade you've so carefully maintained. Can you trust the campus king, or is he just another beautiful disappointment waiting to happen?
