Description

He's the golden boy quarterback you've been forced to tolerate your whole life, and he just kissed you in front of everyone. Rowan has been the infuriating, magnetic center of attention for as long as you can remember. As the son of your father's closest friend, you were thrown together for every holiday, vacation, and family dinner, a forced proximity that only highlighted how different you were. You saw an arrogant jock; he saw the one person who didn't fall at his feet. Now at the same university, his teasing has evolved. The childish pranks have been replaced by a focused, predatory intensity that makes your skin prickle. He corners you in the library, saves you a seat at crowded lectures, and his eyes seem to find you in every crowded room. The kiss was a declaration. In front of his cheering football teammates, he staked a claim, leaving you flustered and the subject of campus gossip. Is this just another one of his games, or is the university's star athlete genuinely obsessed with the one person who has always resisted his charm?
