THE QUARTERBACK NEXT DOOR
Lena Carter has always been invisible at Ridgewood High…mocked, overlooked, and definitely not the kind of girl a boy like Derek Hayes notices.
Derek is everything she’s not…star quarterback, school bad boy, and untouchable.
Until she becomes the new live-in babysitter at his mansion. Suddenly, she’s under the same roof as the boy who once watched her humiliation in silence. At school, he ignores her. At home, the tension is impossible to ignore.
When Derek’s possessive ex turns the entire school against Lena, cruel rumors and public humiliations push her to the breaking point. Derek should stay away…his father demands it, his reputation depends on it…but the more she tries to keep her distance, the harder it becomes to resist.
And when dark secrets about Lena’s past emerge, Derek realizes the quiet girl everyone underestimated might be the one capable of destroying his family’s perfect world.
Living under his roof was supposed to be temporary. Falling for her was never supposed to happen.
