Joining the insomnia thread at PCU was supposed to be harmless, a place to burn through the quiet hours with strangers who'd never know my name. A way to take my mind off the NHL scouts breathing down my neck. Just honesty at 2 a.m. with a girl I only know as LittleTooMuch. I didn't plan to fall for her. But somewhere between the late-night confessions and the things I'd never say out loud, I did.

Jaxon - I’m months away from the NFL draft, from everything I’ve ever wanted. Except none of it matters without her. Madison Blake has always been it for me—my best friend, my biggest what-if, the girl I’ve never stopped loving. One drunken voicemail. That’s all it took for me to drop everything and transfer to PCU. She doesn’t remember calling. But now that she knows the real reason I’m here? She’s running faster than ever.

I’ve spent my whole life proving people wrong. From foster homes to the football field, I clawed my way out, one yard at a time. And now? I’m on the verge of everything I’ve worked for. The draft. The NFL. The future I’ve always dreamed about. Except all I can think about… is her. Lyla Harding–my coach’s daughter.

Sloane-My dad's cancer is back and I keep trying to outrun the inevitable with practice, routines, and lists—anything to keep my hands busy so my heart doesn't break. Logan Brooks, my brother's best friend, moving back in with us was the changeup I didn't see coming. I want to hate him, but he's the only person who seems to quiet the panic in my chest. And I hate even more that loving him feels like setting myself up for another goodbye. Logan-The NFL was always my plan, until an injury landed me back in my best friend's house–the only place that's ever felt like home.

I wasn’t looking for love. Not when I was still trying to figure out how to let anyone in. But Sophie Prescott makes it impossible to keep my walls up— because somehow, she feels like the home I’ve always been searching for.
