A dog licking sand off a baby's face, a soft wave that crests and crashes on the ocean's coast, a half-melted ice cream cone on a summer day—these are the kinds of simple joys that HARPER St. James is all about.
Harper has been secretly crushing on Nate Gunderson, a fellow Coastal U student and prospective MLB player, for quite some time. She finds herself weaving an absurd web of falsehoods in order to spend more time with him this semester. Convincing her sports medicine professor that she had been dating a football player was her first move. After all, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to continue her internship with their team if she was romantically attached.
Harper is unfortunate because this ridiculous, hurried justification for changing tasks soon turns into an uncontrollable rumor.
To prevent any inevitable letdown, LUCA Reynolds is the kind of man who loves to have modest expectations for both himself and other people. His football teammates described him as moody, pensive, and a little standoffish at times.
The reality? Luca doesn't think he fits in.
A covert expert is needed to evaluate Luca's knee, give him some basic stretches, and reassure him that all is OK when an unforeseen ailment threatens to derail his long-term goals. Luckily, he may be owed a favor or two by a cunning student intern.
For the sake of the secret. Lies for lies. If she was the one who originally used him, then it's not truly blackmail.
