Tyler thought he had everything: good grades, a loving girlfriend, and a picture-perfect life. But everything shatters when an anonymous text warns him that his girlfriend, Alexis, is cheating. Dismissing it as a prank at first, Tyler’s world is turned upside down when he catches her in the arms of Logan Carter—the arrogant, untouchable captain of the football team.

Heartbroken and humiliated, Tyler finds himself tangled in an unexpected game of cat and mouse with a mysterious texter. But things take a surprising turn when Tyler discovers that Logan was the mysterious texter all along. Fueled by anger, confusion, and a strange attraction he can’t explain, Tyler demands answers—only to receive an unexpected confession and a kiss that changes everything.

My throat was dry like I hadn't had water in days. My chest was rising and falling too fast, and my legs felt too weak to move. It was almost like I was dreaming.


Declan was standing so close. Too close.


So close I could feel his body heat, smell that cologne I hated but still remembered. I never thought I'd see him this close to me again. Not like this. Not after everything.


Wishing—begging—everything around me would fade. That he would disappear like a bad memory. That I'd open my eyes and he'd be gone.


Still standing. Still watching me like a hunter who already knew his prey had nowhere left to run.
