Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

When I agreed to be his roommate, I had no way of knowing that Cole Anderson was one of my father's star players.

Having transferred to Aldridge University for my junior year, I wasn't familiar with anyone on campus.

If there's one rule I've always been supposed to follow, it's don't date a basketball player.

Cole is different, though, and I don't want to stay away.

But when he finds out I'm the coach's daughter, I might not have any say in the matter.
