Cameron Cole has a plan. 

After yet another relationship ends because of certain shortcomings-literally-Cameron decides it's time to swear off dating and focus her energy into her junior year at the University of Charlotte. There's an internship up for grabs and there's no way she's letting that slip through her fingers. But then she's goes and makes one impulsive mistake that changes everything. 

Wesley Reed has it all. 

As the golden boy of the Charlotte Colts football team, he's got the talent, the looks, and a future so bright it's practically blinding. Girls throw themselves at him, professors let things slide, and the world bends to his will. 

But when a required freshmen paper threatens his eligibility, the two are brought together in a sick twist of academic fate.  Cameron can't get him out of her head and Wesley isn't making it any easier with his cocky smirk and insistent charm. Their arrangement teeters on the edge of disaster as unresolved tension and late-night study sessions give way to a steamy, no-strings-attached deal.

But in the game of love and lust, someone always has to loose-and the stakes have never been higher.

I chuckled slightly and shook my head. "Does that usually work for you? The cute little remarks and that nice smile." I teased. He gave me a sheepish look of surprise. "Most girls would be flattered at my attempt to flirt with them." I scoffed and shook my head. "Well, as a member of the "most girls" community, I can say that I am not." "Wow. That's a bit harsh." He gave me a smug look and crossed his arms. "Sorry," I shrugged. "I'm immune to boy charms. In fact, I think I'm allergic." "Well, don't think so highly of yourself. Just because you have cute dimples and a pretty face, doesn't mean I find you attractive." ------------------------------ Maya Cameron is a senior at Ohio State University and this is the year where you need to get your life together before you get pushed out into the real world. Writing is the only thing that keeps her sane after all of the trauma she's been though. With her mom and dad's unfortunate death, she's been left under the care of her evil step-aunt and forced to stay with her annoying step-cousin. As if college isn't stressful enough. And then there's this other guy in her life. They met online by accident and have been talking for months but she's not brave enough to make it something real. Will Ashby is the all-around superstar on campus. He's practically royalty because he's the running back on the Ohio State Football team: one of the best college football teams in America. Will is the person guys want to be and guy girls want to be with. But in actuality, he'd rather blend in with the background noise. His only focus has been football and finishing his degree. That was until he met this girl. He doesn't even know her name or what she looks like, but she's the girl he'd want to be real with. Because of circumstances, Will needs an English tutor or he won't be able to play. And much to her dismay, Maya is the perfect person for the job. Started: January 2021 Completed: October 2021

"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.

The consequences of a childhood crush don't end when the daydreams do... --- "You just have no idea," he murmured, voice thick with restraint. "W-what?" I whispered, breathless. His gaze dipped to my lips, his thumb grazing them again-calloused and rough against soft skin, sending tingles down my arms. The warmth in his eyes had vanished, replaced with something darker... something that burned. "What you do to men." His voice was husky-dangerous. "What you do to me." My knees nearly buckled, but he caught me, his hand gripping my waist, pulling me flush against him. Another hand curled beneath my ear, his fingers slipping into my curls like they belonged there. --- As a young girl, Charlotte Avery spent years hopelessly daydreaming about her Prince Charming-Archer Johnson, her brother's best friend. She never questioned the obvious truth: that he never saw her that way... and maybe never would. On her 16th birthday, one overheard conversation shattered the illusion. Creepy. That's what he called her. From that moment, Charlotte vowed to never speak to, look at, or think about Archer Johnson again. But fate has a twisted sense of humor. Now eighteen and heading to college, Charlotte's trying to start fresh-until she finds out Archer is not only attending the same university... He's also USC's star quarterback. And still just as infuriating, magnetic, and off-limits as ever. Follow Charlotte as she navigates first love, fresh wounds, campus chaos, and an attraction that refuses to die-even when every unspoken rule says it should. --- Top Rankings: #1 - Hot #1 - College Romance #1 - Brother's Best Friend #1 - Football #1 - Brooding #1 - Slow Burn #1 - Quarterback #1 - Athlete #2 - New Adult #2 - Player #5 - Bad Boy #73 - Romance --- © All Rights Reserved Dreams fade.
