Y/N never expected one night to change everything. She’s a cheerleader at Westbrook University, loves parties, and has no problem having fun—as long as things never become too serious. After a relationship that left her afraid of giving someone the power to hurt her again, catching real feelings is the one thing she refuses to do. Then there’s Jaxon Hayes. Blackwood University’s star quarterback. Party boy. Fuckboy. And exactly the kind of guy Y/N knows she should stay away from. They meet through their best friends, disappear from each other’s lives, and then find themselves thrown back into the same friend group months later. The problem? Jaxon isn’t supposed to care. And Y/N definitely isn’t supposed to fall for him. But between football games, cheerleading competitions, chaotic parties, protective siblings, complicated exes, and a friend group that notices everything, staying away from each other becomes harder than either of them expected. Because sometimes the person you’re most afraid of falling for is the one person you can’t seem to walk away from.
