Sadie Bennett’s plan for sophomore year was simple: survive architecture school, keep her head down, and absolutely avoid distractions.
Especially the six-foot-three basketball player she’s suddenly forced to live with.
After a housing disaster leaves Sadie with nowhere else to go, she ends up stuck in an off-campus adobe house with Hayes Calloway, Saguaro State University’s cocky basketball star and certified heartbreaker. He’s loud, messy, infuriatingly attractive, and somehow always in her kitchen eating her cereal.
Sadie knows guys like Hayes. Charming boys with easy smiles and girls constantly hanging off their arms never stay long enough to be trusted. Keeping things distant should be easy.
Except it isn’t.
Not when late-night conversations by the pool start feeling more like home than anywhere she’s ever lived. Not when Hayes looks at her like she’s something worth protecting. And definitely not when pretending to hate him starts feeling impossible.
