She spent her days schlepping clothes, hailing cabs, and on the hunt for the perfect lip gloss, which became a bit of an addiction-along with books and coffee. Once upon a time, Christina Lee was a wardrobe stylist in New York City. “By the way, I wouldn’t be caught dead in this thing if it wasn’t yours.” I’d need to be careful so I didn’t tear it. “Well, you did go to a football game, which I still can’t believe.”Īs soon as I shifted, I realized that his jacket was a bit of a tight fit in the shoulders. “It looks good on you,” he said, adjusting the hem against my waist. “What?” I asked, realizing that Alex was staring at me with a wistfulness in his eyes. But when I angled my head and sniffed the lapel, it smelled like him too. The material was warm and soft, obviously broken in from use. “Of course.” Once I took it from him, I slipped my arms through it so it wasn’t dragged or stepped on or anything. “Will you hold my jacket so I don’t lose it?” Just as they were about to head out, Alex swung around. “Ready?” Jordan nudged him, and Alex nodded.

“Nah, I’ll just observe from a safe distance.” I leaned forward. “Wanna dance?” Alex asked with a hopeful glint in his eye. Making waves is nothing new, but the further I fall, the more I drag Alex in the deep end with me. Alex doesn’t want to disappoint his best friend, and after what my parents went through, I’m not looking to settle down. But who knew Alex would understand me in ways few others have? And I think, just maybe, I understand him too. One kiss leads to more, and before we know it, we’re tumbling into secret, no-strings-attached hookups. Alex is all grown up, and I can’t help wanting him, especially when he’s in those tiny swim briefs that emphasize everything. But as soon as my brother and his best friend show up on campus, I know I’m in trouble. I’ll take the fall for ruining our family if it means doing the right thing.

My brother hates me, but that’s no surprise. I should be loyal to my best friend, focus on classes and swim team, but the more I see Remy around campus, the harder it becomes to stay away. It was easier to keep my distance the past two years, but now that Bailey and I are attending Franklin University with him, I’m only drawn to Remy more. A painter, a tattoo artist, my best friend Bailey’s older brother…and Bailey’s sworn enemy. Remy Duval was my high school crush and secret first kiss, but he’s also so much more.
