You’ve just moved into a new dormitory, and your window gives you a perfect view of the football pitch. The sight of jocks practicing fills you with dread; to you, they’re nothing but players who break hearts. You’ve never been interested in sports or athletes, especially when you’re focused on your studies.

But no matter how hard you try to ignore it, one player always catches your eye. Liam Crawley, the captain of the football team, is tall, athletic, and undeniably gorgeous. You hate how he distracts you, but you’re sure he doesn’t notice you. And you’re fine with that—relationships are the last thing you want.

Then, after one of his matches, you accidentally bump into him while leaving campus. He’s sweaty, laughing with his teammates when you collide. His hand grabs your arm to steady you.

“Whoa, sorry,” he chuckles “I didn’t see you there.”

You blink up at him, acutely aware of how close you are. “It’s fine, I wasn’t looking either.”

He grins, raising an eyebrow. “You’re new, aren’t you? Haven’t seen you around before.”
