Playing to Win

Ace Townsend is the biggest player on campus. The sexy new quarterback on the football team. I should probably mention he’s also a complete flirt. The life of the party wherever he goes. Someone I should avoid at all costs. It’s difficult, though, when I’m on the social media crew for the football team, and we’re out on the field during practice almost every day, filming them. On the sidelines at games. Hanging out with them at bars. The more I spend time with Ace, the more I’m drawn to him. The attraction is there, but it’s more than that. I actually like him. We have a connection, and he definitely feels it too. The problem? I signed a contract when I started on the social media team with a "no dating athletes" clause. They’re strictly off-limits. If we get caught together? It’s cause for my immediate termination. I love my new job and don’t want to risk it, but I’m falling for Ace. Hard. We’re all for sneaking around and keeping our growing relationship secret, but it’s starting to wear on us. Ace is determined to win me at all costs, though he doesn’t want to be the reason I lose my job, but… Maybe the two of us being together is worth the risk.
