At Briarwood Academy, Cuba Hudson is the untouchable football star with wealth, charm, and a carefully guarded heart—until Dovey Beckham arrives and refuses to be impressed. A gifted ballerina from the wrong side of town, Dovey challenges everything Cuba believes about control, desire, and the games people play. What begins as a reckless attempt to win her over soon exposes buried secrets and emotions neither of them expected. This angsty, steamy prequel novella explores first love, class divides, wounded hearts, and the dangerously irresistible beginnings of a romance.
