Y/N Ashford has one rule: never date. As the University of Tennessee's favorite party girl and one of the biggest college influencers in the country, she's built a life around unforgettable nights, football Saturdays, and keeping everyone at arm's length. She'll flirt, she'll hook up, and she'll always be the last one on the dance floor—but the second someone wants something real, she's gone. Roman DeLuca didn't transfer to Tennessee looking for distractions. The All-American wide receiver came to Knoxville with one goal: win football games and become a first-round NFL Draft pick. Quiet, disciplined, and completely uninterested in the party scene, the last thing he expects is to become fascinated by a girl who thrives in the exact world he avoids. After one drunken compliment at a crowded fraternity party, Roman can't stop thinking about the mysterious girl who called him hot and walked away without asking his name. Everyone warns him about Y/N. They tell him she lives for parties, hates relationships, and has a habit of disappearing before anyone can get attached. What they don't tell him... Is that she's also the loudest person in Neyland Stadium every Saturday, knows Tennessee football better than most fans, and has spent years convincing herself she's happier when nobody gets too close. Roman has never chased anyone. Y/N has never let anyone catch her. But between game days, late-night Waffle House runs, packed tailgates, SEC football, and a college campus where everyone knows everyone, avoiding each other quickly becomes impossible. Sometimes the person who changes your life... Is the one you were never supposed to fall for.
