He was my secret crush. My one-night escape. And the mistake I can’t stop wanting.
Lennox
Some guys flirt for fun. I fall too fast.
Oliver Hayworth was my childhood crush, the golden boy who never looked back.
So when I offered him a ride home for the holidays, I didn’t expect a blizzard. Or the cabin. Or the night that would ruin me for anyone else.
Now we’re back at Westmont U, and he’s acting like it never happened. Like I don’t exist. Like he didn’t whisper my name all night long.
But I see through him. I see the pressure, the fear, and the fire he tries to bury under medals and ambition.
And I want him anyway, even if it breaks me.
Oliver
He wants something real. I don’t have that to give.
Lennox Ellery is every dangerous thing I’ve tried to avoid. He’s warm, open, and impossible to ignore.
I told myself it was a mistake. Just one night. A slip in focus.
But I can’t stop thinking about him. About the way he looked at me like I was more than a swimmer chasing gold.
I’ve spent my whole life sacrificing everything for one dream.
I never planned for him.
And now that he’s in my head, in my bed, and in my heart, I don’t know how to let him go.
