One punch cost him everything. Falling for her could cost him even more. Jax Carter was Harmon High's golden soccer star until eleven seconds of anger destroyed his reputation, his scholarship, and his future. As punishment, he's forced onto the one team he never wanted—the track team. Unfortunately, it's run by Tori Bennett. Track captain. Straight-A perfectionist. Human lie detector. The girl who looks at him like he's a problem waiting to happen. Tori has spent two years building the Harriers into something worth saving. A prestigious grant could change everything for her team, and the last thing she needs is a notorious bad boy with a temper and a talent for wrecking things. Then someone starts sabotaging the team. Equipment is tampered with. Confidential reports are leaked. Anonymous accusations appear out of nowhere. And somehow, every finger points to Jax. With his scholarship hanging by a thread and her team's future on the line, Jax makes an outrageous suggestion: They should pretend to date. A fake relationship to repair his image and prove the team is united. Simple. Except fake dates turn into late-night practices. Arguments turn into lingering glances. And the boy Tori swore she could never trust starts becoming the one person who understands her better than anyone. Then they discover the truth. The person tearing the team apart isn't a stranger. It's someone standing right beside them. Now Tori has to choose between the life she's spent years building and the boy she never meant to fall for. And Jax has to decide whether he's willing to lose everything again… for a girl who was only supposed to be pretending. Because some finish lines aren't crossed on a track. They're crossed the moment you fall in love with the person who can break your heart.
