Against the rules
Ava Sinclair has one rule—stay away from jocks. They’re arrogant, they’re reckless, and they’re nothing but distractions. As Brookdale University’s 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 who’s 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 “accidentally” shows up where she’s studying, she finds another spot. But Logan isn’t one to back down, so he ups his game:
✔ Surprise coffee deliveries? Check.
✔ Crashing her study group with ridiculous questions? Absolutely.
✔ Secretly stealing her notes to force her into tutoring him? Maybe not his best idea...
Things escalate when Ava decides to fight back—cue a prank war involving fake tutoring schedules, food sabotage, and an unfortunate incident involving Logan’s lucky jersey. But somewhere between the chaos, the teasing, and the forced proximity (thanks to a 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 😉

Chapter: Unwanted guests Ava’s POVI had barely taken a sip of my morning coffee when a loud, insistent knock echoed through Logan’s apartment. My stomach twisted into a familiar knot of dread. I already knew who it was.Brian and Kate.I regret giving them Logan's address, will he be mad?Logan, who had been stretching lazily on the couch, raised an eyebrow. “You expecting someone, nerd?”I set my cup down with a sigh, rubbing my temples. “Unfortunately.”He nodded then continued scrolling his phone. Guess he isn't angry as I expected him to beThe knocking grew more aggressive.“Jesus, are they trying to break the door down?” Logan muttered, walking over to open it.The moment the door swung open, my older brother, Brian, strode in like he owned the place, his eyes immediately scanning the apartment with a look of disapproval. My sister, Kate, followed right behind him, her arms crossed, her expression a perfect mix of annoyance and rudeness.Brian’s sharp blue eyes landed on me, narrowing instantly. “Ava.

Chapter: Vulnerable Ava’s POVAfter Logan returned with two plates of spaghetti and a warm smile, I forced myself to concentrate on the food rather than the bunch of thoughts in my head. The kitchen was dimly lit by the soft glow of a single overhead lamp, and the low hum of the refrigerator was the only sound breaking the uneasy silence between us.We settled at the small dining table Logan on one side, me on the other. Every time our eyes met, I felt that same mix of annoyance and something else… something I wasn’t ready to admit. Last night’s kiss still clung to my thoughts like an afterimage I couldn’t shake, and despite my best efforts, a small part of me couldn’t help but wonder what it meant.“Eat up,” Logan said casually, prodding his own plate with a fork. “I made extra.” His tone was light, but his eyes lingered on mine a moment longer than necessary.I forced a smile, trying to push aside the discomfort. “Thanks,” I mumbled. I picked at my food, each bite feeling heavier than the last. The wei

Chapter: Flustered Ava’s POVThe moment I read my dad’s message, my stomach twisted into knots.Brian and Kate are coming over there tomorrow. They’ll stay at your place.Stay at my place? What place?! I don't even have a place to call mine and he wants me to bring my siblings here!I don't think Logan will be pleased by this, I just have to start looking for a place before things get out of hands.My hands tightened around my phone as frustration bubbled up inside me. He didn’t even ask if I had the space, didn’t care about what I was going through. Typical. After throwing me out like garbage, now he wanted me to play host for his perfect little family?I locked my phone and exhaled sharply, trying to calm myself. No use getting worked up now. I had bigger problems like the fact that I was homeless, currently crashing at Logan Carter’s apartment, and somehow surviving the chaos that came with being around him.Speaking of Logan…“Hey, nerd!”I turned my head just in time to see him jogging toward me, f

Chapter: Unfinished business Logan povPractice was the same as usual running drills, getting yelled at by Coach, and trying not to die under the sun. But my head wasn’t in the game. no matter how hard I tried to concentrate on the practice I couldn't. my mind was not here at all.It was on her.Ava.Ava SinclairI hadn’t expected to actually enjoy spending time with her. The tutoring bullshit that was me I begged professor to get Ava to tutor me history because I didn't know shit about history,but the truth is I know history it's just it's not my favorite subject.She was just supposed to be some nerdy tutor, a means to an end. But now? Now, she was staying at my place, sitting with my friends, getting under my damn skin. and me ? I was enjoying all of that, probably more than I could admit.The accidental kiss from last night wasn’t helping either. that was our second kiss. the first time we kissed was at the party, I wanted to show my friends that I was capable of getting her in my bed but I didn't know the b

Chapter: Unusual lunch break Ava's pov The next day I woke up early in the morning before Logan and tidied up the place before I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. I wore my jeans with my black hoodie, took my bag and tiptoed out of the apartment . After everything that happened yesterday, I couldn't bring myself to face Logan. I don't want him to think that I'm some Kind of weak person or come out as clingy. I can manage myself. I managed to get to the class, I was the first one to get to the class, then a few minutes later students started to find their way in the room. Professor of sociology Gabriel Lenox started his lecture. I bent my head down and focused on writing notes when I heard a knock on the door and the professor allowed whoever was knocking. I took a look and saw that it was Logan wearing a black jeans with black leather jacket. I immediately lowered my head when he caught me looking.

Chapter: First night at Logan's Ava's pov The last thing I remember after reaching Logan's place is that he told me he was going out tonight, so why the hell is he still here? I was lost in my thoughts when I felt something nudging me. I turned to face Logan who had a smirk on his face. "hey nerd, what are you daydreaming now? I know I'm hot but you can just tone it out sunshine". I scoffed "who told you I'm thinking about you? didn't you say you are going out tonight? or is no one willing to open their legs for you?" I remarked. Logan smirk widened "and why do you care nerd? I don't think me whoring around is any of your concern or are you jealous " he said . I became aware of the small space we were in. After the kiss we shared earlier, Everytime Logan is close to me keeps making me feeling conscious. " No I'm not jealous but can you move your body away, you're in my space " I said, tryin
