博客來A forbidden romance wasn’t the game plan.
At my fancy private school, my sole focus is soccer. Not a great idea when I’m a lousy student and on a scholarship.
Enter Milo Nelson, my best friend’s nerdy twin brother and the boy I’ve completely ignored for years. He’s now my tutor and, for some reason, I can’t stop staring.
At his patient smile when I’m bombing algebra. At his gentle hands when he’s explaining Shakespeare. At the way he looks at me like I’m worth saving when everyone else has given up.
Because the thing is, my life is falling apart.
Coach benched me from playing soccer. My best friend blindsided me by dating someone I hate. Plus, I’m failing every class except gym.
The last thing I need is these feelings.
But when Milo’s hand covers mine during study sessions, I don’t pull away. Our heart-felt confessions late at night have me giving in. And I’m all in when we’re sneaking stolen kisses in empty hallways.
Needless to say, we’re keeping this secret, for both our sakes. Because if my best friend finds out, it will make Milo’s life worse. But I really don’t want love to be one more thing I fail at.
