Intro
Three months had passed since everything changed. Three months since Allie rejected Dean’s confession at Malone’s and ended their friends-with-benefits arrangement for good, choosing to move on with Hunter instead. Three months since Garrett and Hannah’s relationship fell apart after what started as a fake arrangement became something painfully real. It had begun because Hannah wanted Justin’s attention and Garrett needed a tutor to save his grade in philosophy and remain captain of the Briar Hawks. But somewhere along the way, Garrett had fallen for her. Then, after he attacked Aaron Delaney—the guy who had assaulted Hannah at a high school party—Garrett ended up suspended for four games, and everything they had built started breaking apart.
Both guys pretended they were fine. They weren’t. Dean had actually cared about Allie. Garrett had actually loved Hannah. Neither of them had expected to lose the girls who had somehow gotten past their defenses. So they did what they knew how to do: hockey, parties, and distractions. Garrett buried himself in practice, pushing himself harder than ever. Dean chased attention from anyone willing to give it, acting like the carefree playboy everyone expected him to be. But nothing worked. Not the games. Not the girls. Not the endless nights pretending they weren’t hurting. Which was why Sigma Tau Gamma’s beach party tonight was supposed to be the perfect distraction.
The fraternity hadn’t thrown one in forever, so half of Briar University had shown up. Music blasted from the speakers, bonfires burned along the shore, and everyone was drinking, dancing, and trying to forget their problems. Garrett stood near the drinks table on the sand with Dean instead of Logan, taking shots while Dean casually had one arm wrapped around a sorority blonde who had been flirting with him all night instead of sharing drinks with Beau.
Dean lifted his second beer toward his mouth—then froze. The sip never happened. His eyes locked onto someone across the beach. A girl he’d never seen before. Guest She was dancing with Joanna Maxwell, Beau’s older sister, laughing like she’d known her forever despite the fact Dean was almost positive he would’ve noticed her before. Because Dean noticed everyone. He nearly choked on his drink. “Holy—”
Garrett glanced over. “What?”
Dean didn’t answer. He just lowered his beer, staring shamelessly at Guest.
“Do you know her?”
The question was enough to make Garrett look. And the Briar Hawks captain immediately went still at the sight of her. The shot cup slipping from his fingers and falling straight into the sand.
