Against the rules
Ava Sinclair has one ruleâstay away from jocks. Theyâre arrogant, theyâre reckless, and theyâre nothing but distractions. As Westbridge Universityâs top student, she has a strict schedule of study sessions, internships, and zero tolerance for football players, especially Logan Carter.
Logan, on the other hand, thrives on breaking rules. When his teammates make a bet date the nerdy girl whoâs never fallen for a jock he takes it as a challenge. After all, no one resists Logan Carter.
The only problem? Ava is practically allergic to him.
Every time he flirts, she shuts him down. Every time he âaccidentallyâ shows up where sheâs studying, she finds another spot. But Logan isnât one to back down, so he ups his game:
â Surprise coffee deliveries? Check.
â Crashing her study group with ridiculous questions? Absolutely.
â Secretly stealing her notes to force her into tutoring him? Maybe not his best idea...
But somewhere between the chaos, the teasing, and the forced proximity (thanks to Ava's dorm mix-up that makes them neighbors), Logan starts falling for the very girl he was supposed to play.
When Ava discovers the bet, will Logan be able to prove that this game stopped being a game a long time ago? Or will she show him that, for the first time, Logan Carter has met his match?
stay tuned đ

Chapter: "He sees me!" Ava's povI woke up to the rays of sunlight streaming through the balcony doors and the even warmer feeling of Logan's arms wrapped tightly around me. His chest rose and fell against my back, he was sleeping soundly without any worries. I couldâve stayed like that forever.But then before I could dwell on his warmth again I heard a knock.And thenâŚ"Rise and shine, lovebirds!" Charlotteâs obnoxiously chipper voice rang through the door. I almost forgot that we were here with Charlotte and Tristan.I froze. Logan groaned behind me and buried his face into the crook of my neck. âTell me Iâm dreaming,â he mumbled.Another knock followed. âHope you two got enough sleep last night... though judging by the thumping and oh-my-gods, Iâm gonna guess not.â Tristan's deep voice rang through the door.My entire body went hot. âOh my God,â I whispered. Now I was going to experience the walk of shame!âTristan!â I shouted back, grabbing the closest pillow and chucking it toward the door as if it wo

Chapter: Only her Logan's povI regretted those four words the second they left my mouth."None of your business."Really? That was all I could say?God, I sounded like a complete asshole! What the fuck was wrong with me?!But my blood was still boiling from the phone call. That voice, the one that haunted my nightmares and my childhood, had no right to call me now. Not after everything.And definitely not while I was here, with her. Why did he have to call me now? He ruined my whole day.But when Ava asked⌠it was like something in me snapped. Like all the anger Iâd buried deep decided now was the perfect moment to come clawing out Even though I didn't mean to snap at her.She stiffened beside me, pulling her knees to her chest. She looked so small, so hurt, and I hated myself for putting that look on her face.But instead of apologizing, I made it worse.âWhy do you always have to push?â I snapped. âWhy canât you just let things go for once?âHer head whipped toward me, eyes wide. âAre you fucking se

Chapter: Beach EscapedâŁ~Ava~My phone buzzed sometime after midnight. I was already half-asleep, wrapped in my blanket and dreaming about Logan's smile.Tristan: Pack a bag, sunshine squad. Weâre going to the beach tomorrow. No excuses.Charlotte: YESSSSS! Iâve been dying for some sun, you're the best baby â¤ď¸Tristan: â¤ď¸Logan: Is it too late to pretend Iâm sick now?Tristan: Nope. Ava already said you're coming.I laughed, even though I hadn't said a word. Trust Tristan to drag us all into a random beach trip like it was the most normal thing in the world.He was rich so that wasn't a problem to him at all.Me: I didnât say anything. But fine. Iâm in.Logan replied with a heart emoji. I stared at it for a while, smiling like an idiot, before finally putting my phone away.The next morning came so fast. Charlotte picked me up, blasting music with the windows down."Are you ready to tan and gossip about everything and pretend we don't have responsibilities?" she grinned."Born ready," I laughed.Logan and

Chapter: Picnic Date ~Ava~The sunlight casted a shadow over the trees, soft and warm on my skin. It was the kind of day that begged to be savoured. After everything with Natasha, I thought things might spiral and go wrong. That Logan might pull away and decides he didn't want me anymore, or worse, that I might. But somehow, we didn't break apart. We just... solidified. Like the pressure we were experiencing only made us stronger. Like he was fire and I was glass, and instead of shattering, I melted into something whole.I hadnât expected to find him waiting outside my final class, leaning against the pillar like he belonged there âŚlike he belonged to me. His hoodie was pushed up to his elbows, revealing tanned tattooed forearms I pretended not to stare at. A dimple peeked when he saw me.âHey,â he said, offering me that half-smile that always knocked the air out of my lungs.He had that hold on me, and I couldn't complain shit.âHey,â I replied, trying to sound casual even though my pulse had started

Chapter: He's mine ~Ava~By the time lunchtime rolled around, I still couldnât shake the grin off my face.Everything felt surreal, I felt like I was floating through the day. My mind kept replaying Loganâs words, the way his arms had held me, the warmth of his chest against mine. And okayâŚmaybe the whole parking lot kiss was a little over-the-top, but the way he looked at me afterward? Like I was the only girl in the world?Yeah, I wasnât complaining.I was grabbing a smoothie at the student cafĂŠ when it happened.Logan, in all his tall, tanned, and annoyingly hot glory, walked in with two of his football friends. His eyes scanned the room once, and the second they landed on me, his face lit up. A casual smirk, a head tilt that said, There you are.My heart fluttered.But just as he started to head in my direction, she happened.Natasha Keller.The girl had legs for days, platinum-blonde hair that definitely wasnât natural, and a smile she flashed only when she wanted something."Logan!" she called, pr

Chapter: Not a dream AvaThe morning light spilled through the curtains, warm and soft against my skin. For a second, I didnât move. My body was tangled in sheets that smelled faintly of laundry soap and Logan. It took another heartbeat for my memory to catch up.Last night.It really happened,not just a dream!His lips. His hands. The way he whispered my name like it meant something sacred.I turned slowly, the sheet slipping down to my waist as I did, and found him beside me. Logan was still asleep, his chest rising and falling with a steady rhythm. One arm was slung across his eyes, hair was a perfect mess, and the bare skin of his torso was half-exposed, making my pulse do a weird, giddy jump.Okay I'm weird now!God, he looked unfairly good even in the morning.My gaze drifted lower, to where the sheet barely covered his hips. I bit my lip, suddenly warm all over again. I remembered the way heâd kissed me last night, the way heâd whispered all the things he wanted to do and then actually did them.
