Player
PLAYER (Westfall Vipers #3)
He was the enemy. My father's star player. And the one guy I looked at with pure contempt.
I am the coach's daughter—invisible, focused, and determined to escape the basketball world that ruined my family. Harvard Law is my exit strategy. Carter Mills is the team's golden boy. A party animal. A waste of potential. He represents everything I hate.
But when Carter's GPA drops, threatening his NBA dreams, my father gives me an order I can't Save his career. Suddenly, the library isn't a sanctuary. It's a battlefield. And the boy I vowed to despise is showing me a side the cameras never see.
Forced proximity. Forbidden feelings. And a stalker watching our every move. Neither of us planned on playing for keeps. But as late-night study sessions turn into something more, the threat shifts from failing grades to something much darker. Carter's injury comeback. My Harvard ambitions. And a danger we never saw coming.
