How do you rent a room from a ghost without even knowing it?

This year was supposed to be different because Oaklynn had a plan.

Stop partying.

Focus on classes.

Graduate!

Carson—which was not the name he told her—can’t stop thinking about the woman who slipped through his fingers. He’s drawn to her in a way that has nothing to do with attraction and everything to do with connection. He texts. He calls. He shows up. He wants more.

A photo. A name she doesn’t recognize—until she does.

Carson Beck. The biggest, hottest quarterback in the NFL. A notorious playboy with a reputation for chewing through women and walking away without a second glance.

The realization hits hard: she didn’t just sleep with a stranger—she slept with him.

Now she’s caught between panic and disbelief. Because the man she spent the night with doesn’t match the one splashed across every sports page. And despite his reputation, Carson is still chasing her like she’s the only woman who exists.

She knows better than to fall for a quarterback who lives under stadium lights and headlines.

But Carson Beck has never wanted anything the way he wants Sydney Hale.

All great stories are made great because they contain great characters who face great conflict. I often find myself wondering if that’s what my story is meant to be. I’ve got the conflict part down, but I don’t see myself as some heroine in some epic tale, but who knows…maybe I’m just the supporting character in someone else’s great story.
