One catch. One extremely lucky catch and the moment just after changed my life. I went from Mario, average college baseball player, to a Valley U hero. All the attention, razzing from my teammates, and newfound fascination from the opposite sex, feels super weird. Which is why Vanessa James’ disinterest is a welcome relief. She’s beautiful and daring and she makes me want to prove that I’m more than that one moment. Winning her over will take as much effort as I give on the field, but when I do – she’ll be the greatest catch of my life.

You know those stories where the smart girl tutors the dumb jock? This isn't it. Blair What's the probability of insulting the one guy on campus I need to help me pass statistics? If I knew, I wouldn't be standing in front of Wes Reynolds begging him to tutor me. Basketball player, sexy, arrogant, always sleeping through class... these are the things I knew about him. What I didn't know is that he is a seriously smart jock. Wes What's the best way to get rid of the peppy and unrelenting girl that keeps asking me to tutor her? If I knew, I wouldn't be staring at her tan legs and attempting to teach her statistics. Sorority girl, fine as f\\k, determined, ball buster... these are the things I knew about her. What I didn't know is that she is all the things I didn't realize I wanted or needed. Or that one semester with her would change everything.

I’ve spent years hiding in the shadows. He’s spent his whole life chasing the bright lights of the NBA. We have nothing in common, except for the fact our friends ditched us for spring break. I have a bucket list for my senior year at Valley U. He’s the only person I know on campus. I’m ready to start checking things off my list. Frat party: Check. TP the baseball house: Check. Goat yoga: Check. Skinny dipping: Check. Falling for Zeke Sweets, Valley U’s MVP: Not going to happen.

I've made a lot of dumb mistakes but none dumber than losing her. Senior year. I should be partying and living it up with my friends before graduation, but one more mistake and I'm off the team. Enter Chloe. She comes into my life at a low point, but she becomes the bright spot I reach for every day. She's the kind of girl who makes a guy want to be a better man. And for a while, I even start to believe I've changed enough to deserve her. I've got my eye on the future, and I'm letting my past stay where it belongs. But the thing about the past... it always comes back to bite you when you least expect it.

I’ve been in love with her for two years. The first time around, I screwed things up. I hesitated and the moment was gone. I passed when I shouldn’t have. Not a total loss. I gained a best friend instead of whatever we might have been. Sydney is hands down the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and I’ll do anything to keep her in my life. Even bury my feelings deep inside. But one hot summer together at the lake filled with lots of teeny-tiny bikinis and I’m ready to risk it all for a second chance. It’s time to take my shot. (This is Shaw and Sydney's story!)
