The QB’s Nerdy Addiction
Sweet LoveSteamyContemporaryGoodgirlStarPossessiveBetrayalCampusSports
Rule number one of surviving Valor State University: Stay invisible.
For twenty-two-year-old Skylar Thompson, the rules are simple. Keep your 4.0 GPA, work your grueling double shifts, and never, ever date an athlete. Except, Skylar broke her own rule for Shawn Crawford–the star running back who made her feel seen, even if he kept their relationship a secret.
But secrets have an expiration date.
At a campus bonfire, Shawn is dared to kiss his hidden girlfriend. With her hopes up high, Skylar’s ready for her fairy-tale reveal. Instead? Shawn bypasses her entirely and presses his lips against her toxic stepsister.
Humiliated, broken, and pushed to the edge, Skylar gets even.
Looking for the ultimate weapon, she throws herself at the nearest distraction: Trey “Goliath” Parker. At 6’8”, the brooding, legendary quarterback is the most feared man on campus, and Shawn’s biggest rival. It was supposed to be a single, spiteful kiss to save face. But someone films it, the video goes viral, and by morning, the whole school thinks they are dating.
But Skylar has no idea what she just started.
That one impulsive kiss breaks a years-long curse of numbness, and brings a certain other anatomy wildly back to life. Suddenly, the monster has a muse. Trey doesn’t just want to be her fake boyfriend; he needs her. And he will do whatever it takes to keep her.
Skylar’s quiet, boring senior year is officially dead. The monster has awakened, he’s utterly addicted, and he’s about to teach her exactly how good it feels to be bad.

Chapter: 004: #TeamTreylar Or #TeamSherryEverything is completely and utterly wrong this morning. Why? I’ll tell you. First, I woke up late due to the fact that my alarm apparently decided to go on a strike of its own. Second, because my dorm’s in a different time zone from the lecture halls, getting to class means either Jade drives me or I take the campus shuttle.But since Jade never made it back last night, I was at the mercy of VSU transit. And that’s where bad turns to chaos. I stood at the shuttle stop so long I started considering a career in statue modeling, but thankfully a bus finally decided to rattle up at the last minute. Honestly, it wouldn’t even surprise me if the drivers just decided to take the day off; You can practically count the number of people who actually use the campus shuttle on one hand.VSU’s crawling with obnoxiously rich kids who drive insane cars. I, however, am very clearly not one of them. I’m a scholarship student, juggling two part-time jobs to barely survive and send money home for Mo

Chapter: 003: A Total Of Eight-PackHe isn’t kissing me back. He’s actually not kissing me back. If anything, Trey’s statue-still, his rigid lips against mine while the world goes dead silent. Even the thumping bass from the speakers seems to have magically vanished. It feels like every single person at this party is holding their breath, waiting for the explosion that has to follow a stunt like this. And frankly? With how badly this is crashing and burning, so am I. God, I’m so stupid. What was I even thinking? Of all the people to recruit for my fake-boyfriend scheme, it just had to be the most dangerous guy at VSU? Yeah. RIP to me. It was a good run. Accepting my inevitable doom, I begin to pull my face away, ready to peel myself off him and run into the night.But I don’t make it far. Trey’s lips finally move against mine before I can back an inch. A large hand snapping around my waist and pulling me against a hard chest sends my oxygen packing. The crowd mirrors my shock by letting out a loud gasp.I don

Chapter: 002: Miss Not-So-Goody Two-ShoesI gasp. “Excuse me?” “Come on, look at yourself.” He takes in my form with blatant disgust. “It’s a fucking college party and you’re dressed like my grandma. Scratch that, even my grandma dresses better. You’re wearing an oversized wool cardigan and mom jeans, Skylar.” Ouch. Is it so bad to prefer comfort above all else? I clutch the cardigan tighter around myself. “Bu-but you said you loved how I looked. You said you liked that I was different.” The mocking laugh he lets out is absolutely brutal. “I fucking lied, Skylar! Just to make you feel good. But use your sense. You’re a bookworm. You’re supposed to have some. Look at me. I’m VSU’s star running back. I’m a big deal on campus. How do you think it’ll look if I’d walked up and claimed you?” I open my mouth to reply, but no words make their way out. “Exactly!” he scoffs, misinterpreting my stunned silence. “That’s why I chose Cherry! Have you seen her? She’s a fucking stunner. She looks sexy twenty-four-seven. She actual

Chapter: 001: Truth Or DareSKYLAR“Truth or dare, golden boy.” That voice. Ugh. It belongs to one of the worst people at Valor State University, and if you guessed “asshole linebacker,” or “walking STD,” you’d be correct. It belongs to Chris Jerkins. My boyfriend’s best friend. The certified menace of the century. And the golden boy he’s referring to? That’s Shawn Crawford–VSU’s star running back, my bestie and roommate’s brother, and my boyfriend. Well. Technically my secret boyfriend, because absolutely no one knows we’re dating. Eight weeks ago, Shawn got into a massive, brutal, phone-cameras-everywhere fight with Trey Parker, the team’s powerhouse quarterback. The video hit 2 million views in a day. Now the university PR team has them both on strict media lockdown. With Shawn’s every move being monitored, one headline that says “Star Running Back in Messy New Relationship” and he’s benched, suspended, or worse. Logically, I get it. But emotionally, it still shreds me. No one likes being trea
