College life should come with a content warning.

All Phoebe Sharpe wanted was to start over at a new college to escape the drama and humiliation of her mom's sordid past. But her present is hardly less complicated. To avoid sleeping on the streets, Phoebe seeks sanctuary at a 24-hour gym. When she meets the smoking-hot Tiago, her desire to remain anonymous disappears.

Fortis University kicker Tiago Trindade has more on his plate than the average college sophomore. He's trying to keep his GPA high enough to maintain his football scholarship while balancing practice and a job at the local gym to help support his family. When he learns his grandmother's been swindled out of the title on her house - which would leave them homeless - he's determined to save them. And then he meets the girl of his dreams...who just might be involved in her mom's con.

When Phoebe learns the truth about her mother's role in scamming Tiago's family, she's torn. Should she protect her own family or save Tiago's?

Contains mature themes.
