Welcome to Drayton Hills!'The SMUT WAS SMUTTING have mercy!!' Real Reader Review, 5-starsCatherine Fables is a planner, fixer, and a firm believer in rules. Stick to the plan, follow the steps, and success is inevitable - at least, that's the idea. As a journalism major, good reviews mean everything, so when no one wants to take over the college football newspaper, she takes the opportunity by the horns. Or the helmet, I guess? Connor Bailey, star quarterback of the Drayton Titans, only cares about one thing - his team. He's got the confidence, the charm, and, if you ask him, the biggest...ego in the league. But talking about anything beyond football? That's where he fumbles. Strangely, though, opening up to Cat feels easy. When the two collide in more close-contact situations than they'd like, sparks fly - on and off the field. But there's one problem: Nora. Cat's best friend. Connor's sister. The one person the cannot let find out about their budding romance. If she does, will it ruin everything? Or are some rules meant to be broken...?Tropes:-Childhood friends to lovers-Found family-Best friends brother-Sneaking aroundReaders LOVE Catherine and Connor... 'I love the way Connor treats Cat like a princess, my favourite was when he helped her take out her braids and wash her hair!!!!!' Real Reader Review, 5-stars'THIS BOOK WILL HAVE YOU SMILING LIKE AN IDIOT. I'm obsessed with the writing and the cuteness of Cat and Conner. Just read the book - you won't regret it!
