I want the truth. He wants to ruin me.
The Alabama Lions are hiding something, and I'm determined to expose the team. Write the story that will burn their whole program down.
They know I'm watching. So they sent him.
Dustin Slater. Star wide receiver. Killer body. Filthy mouth. His job was simple - warn me off, wear me down, keep me too distracted to dig.
Instead, he pins me with that wicked smile, gets too close, and makes every warning sound like a dare.
I'm chasing the truth. A missing girl. A name wiped from every record. Powerful men who'll do anything to keep their secrets buried.
But he gets in my way. In my head. Under my skin. Until wanting him is the only thought I have left.
I should walk away from Dustin. I should walk away from it all.
But I've never known when to quit.
And now I want him almost as much as I want the truth.
This angsty, morally grey, college sports romance is perfect for fans of Meagan Brandy, Chloe Walsh, Parker S. Huntington, Rosa Lucas, L.J Shen, Rebecca Jenshak, Nikki Lawson
