Being with him was never the problem. Being seen with him is what blows everything up.
Maya Singh swore she would keep things simple this year at pass her classes, protect her scholarship, keep her midnight radio show alive, and do not fall for her infuriatingly soft-hearted roommate again.
Too late.
What started as hate, then a truce, turned into late-night tutoring, stolen moments in the kitchen, and a connection she didn’t see coming. Now Maya is in a full-on relationship with hockey captain Liam Hayes—only nobody’s supposed to know.
He’s still her former tutoring client. She still works for the university. There are rules about that.
So they make a keep it quiet. No couple selfies, no PDA on campus, no feeding the gossip accounts that stalk every move the hockey team makes. In private, he’s the anxious, loyal boy who traces constellations on her skin and actually listens when she talks about burnout and panic. In public, they’re just housemates who barely tolerate each other.
Until one blurry photo turns their entire world into content.
Suddenly, #CampusScandal is trending. Her professionalism is questioned, his leadership is doubted, and Maya finds herself sitting in an ethics meeting being asked if she crossed a line that could cost her the funding she depends on. Liam is caught between backing the girl he loves and the team, scouts, and family who expect him to be perfect.
In the eye of the storm, “us against the world” starts to feel a lot like “us tearing each other apart.”
With her scholarship on the line and his career under a microscope, Maya has to decide whether loving him is worth becoming the villain of her own story—and Liam has to decide what kind of man he wants to be when he can’t protect everyone at once.
