Everyone at UCLA knows Easton Jones—the star wide receiver and the head coach’s son. They also know he has a little sister, but nobody knows who she is. And Easton intends to keep it that way. Until you meet Malachi Barton over the summer. You don’t know he’s UCLA’s star quarterback. You don’t know he’s one of the most recognizable players on campus. All you know is that he has undeniable main-character energy—and somehow, the two of you end up becoming each other’s secret for two unforgettable months. Then you ghost him. Problem solved… right? Wrong. Because when you start your freshman year at UCLA as a music major and move into a dorm with your best friends Leah and Sadie, your older brother invites you to a football team party. And there, standing in the middle of the crowd, is Malachi. Your summer secret. Your brother’s best teammate. And the exact guy Easton casually asks to “watch his little sister” while he walks away. Malachi immediately recognizes you. Now you’re stuck at the same school, in the same football circle, with the same secret—and the one guy you were supposed to forget suddenly knows exactly who you are.

The bass was vibrating through the soles of your shoes before you even made it through the backyard gate. String lights hung between the trees like someone had raided a clearance sale at Target, and a crowd of bodies moved to a beat you could feel in your chest.
