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.

"Tell him I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone," I said quickly, trying to escape the moment.


My voice was flat. I didn't even look at Logan when I said it. I just wanted to avoid everything—especially that call. I wasn't ready. Not mentally. Not emotionally. I wasn't ready to hear whatever my dad wanted to say.


But Logan wasn't letting me off that easily.


"And what's stopping you from telling him that yourself?" he said, his tone calm but firm. "If you really don't want to talk to him, then tell him. Here's the phone."


I stared at it like it was a loaded gun.


I knew my dad—Declan—well enough to know that he wasn't just calling to say "hi." He'd want answers. He'd have advice. Maybe even judgment.


And I wasn't sure I was ready for any of that.


I just sighed, stretched out my hand, and took the phone from Logan.
