When my best friend’s world comes crashing down around her, I resolve to do whatever I can to help her pick up the pieces. It’s a blessing and a curse that Diana is transferring to Newton to be closer to her family. As glad as I am that we’ll finally be in the same place, I know it will be excruciating spending time with my best friend—who has no idea I’m in love with her.

Diana’s been there for me through thick and thin, so I’ll do my best to lighten her burden. Between her mean girl teammates and her father’s terminal illness, she’s not in the right headspace for a relationship, and I won’t be content with a one-night stand.

But when she breaks down and begs me to make the hurt go away, I’m too weak to resist her. She’s all I’ve ever wanted.

I’m in this for the long haul. I’m waiting for Diana to realize what I’ve known for years: she’s my End Game, and I won’t stop until she’s mine.

END GAME is a best friends to lovers, slow burn college sports romance featuring a healthy dose of pining and plenty of angst.
