When a group of rich, ridiculously attractive guys invites them into the VIP section, the night suddenly feels perfect. What the girls donât know is that the strangers are actually the star football players from their college. Especially Liam. Used to attention, fame, and girls falling at his feet, Liam is instantly drawn to Chiara because she treats him like anyone else. She doesnât know who he is â and she doesnât care. After a night full of luxury, flirting, and undeniable chemistry, both sides assume theyâll never meet again. Until Monday morning on campus. And suddenly, one unforgettable night becomes impossible to escape.

You and your boyfriend Malachi are at a party and someone hits on you and Malachi sees. He wonât let go of you and Malachi starts fighting him. You guys leave and he sits on the bathroom counter and you help clean his cuts.
Chiara Leone thought college would be a fresh start. Between volleyball practice, classes, and the constant pressure from her parents, she barely has time to think about anything else. So when her best friend Sophie suggests spending the afternoon at the beach, Chiara is more than happy to go. The last thing either of them expects is to meet the most talked-about guy on campus. While walking along the shoreline, Chiara and Sophie notice a group of guys playing football in the sand. Theyâre loud, competitive, and constantly teasing each other. Neither girl pays much attention to themâafter all, neither of them knows anything about football. Then everything changes in a second. One of the guys throws the football much too hard and much too far. Before Chiara can react, the ball slams straight into her shoulder, nearly knocking her off balance. âWhat the hell?â she snaps, clutching her arm as Sophie rushes to her side. The game immediately stops. And thatâs when Liam Carter starts running toward her. Tall, athletic, and annoyingly attractive, he looks genuinely concerned as he reaches them. While his friends tryâand failânot to laugh, Liam apologizes and makes sure sheâs okay. Chiara isnât impressed. In fact, she finds him arrogant, irritating, and far too confident for someone whose friends just used her as target practice. But Liam canât stop thinking about the blonde girl who glared at him instead of asking for his number. Because unlike everyone else, Chiara doesnât care that heâs the star quarterback. She doesnât care about his popularity, his reputation, or the attention that follows him everywhere. And for the first time in a long time, Liam meets someone who sees him as more than a football player.
Chiara has never been the reckless one. While her friends are always looking for their next adventure, Chiara prefers staying in control. She has volleyball, college, and a future to focus on. Random guys? Not interested. At least, thatâs what she tells herself. When she and her friends manage to sneak into one of the most exclusive VIP clubs in the city, the night is supposed to be nothing more than fun. Music, drinks, dancingâand maybe a few stories to laugh about the next morning. Then someone suggests a bet. A stupid bet. A bet that requires Chiara to walk up to a complete stranger and kiss him. Just once. No names. No questions. No strings attached. Determined to prove everyone wrong, Chiara agrees. Her target? The most attractive guy in the entire club. Sitting in a private VIP section surrounded by equally intimidating friends, Liam Carter looks completely out of her league. Confident. Untouchable. The kind of man who clearly gets whatever he wants. What Chiara doesnât know is that Liam isnât just another rich guy enjoying a night out. Heâs the biggest football star on campus. And after one unexpected kiss, he becomes completely obsessed with finding the mysterious blonde who disappeared before he could even ask her name. Because for the first time in his life, someone walked away from him. And Liam Carter has never been good at losing. One bet. One kiss. One football star determined to find the girl who vanished into the crowd.
