After taking a year off to grieve her mother’s death, Evangelina Everhart returns with one goal: get her life back to normal. What she doesn’t expect, though, is to meet the biggest plot twist of her life.
Grant Vandenberg is the campus heartthrob, star athlete, and notorious playboy. He also immediately sees through Evangelina’s facade. Grant knows her life isn’t normal–not with the late nights she spends going on runs around campus or the way she panics at every mention of her ex-boyfriend. And although he’s the last person she ever pictured confiding in, Evangelina finds herself trusting him anyway.
What begins as a lowercase-f friendship turns into something more. Something comforting and common. Something that feels a lot like love.
But when you’re dating the hotshot football player than everyone loves to talk about, rumors are bound to spread. Everything they’ve built begins to crack, and with all eyes on them, all it takes is one whisper for everything they built to come crashing down.
