Playing For Keeps
583 Views · Ongoing · Netty Writes
Nyla Carter didn't come to Blackwood University to be anybody's girlfriend. She came to run track, enjoy her college experience, and make a name for herself.
Unfortunately, two of Blackwood's most talked-about athletes have other plans.
Isaiah “Zay” Reynolds is the school's star quarterback, a notorious playboy who has never had to work for a woman's attention. So when a harmless little bet puts Nyla in his sights, he figures winning her over will be easy.
He's about to find out just how wrong he is.
Then there's Kai Bennett. Confident, disciplined, and nothing like the quarterback who thrives on attention, Kai has his own way of getting under Nyla's skin. And the more time she spends around him, the harder it becomes to pretend there's nothing between them.
Between football games, track meets, messy friendships, jealous admirers, and a campus gossip page that never misses an opportunity to stir the pot, Nyla finds herself at the center of drama she never signed up for.
One man started out playing a game.
The other might be playing for something real.
But neither expected Nyla to rewrite the rules.
And at Blackwood University, where everyone has an opinion about who should end up with whom, the biggest scandal might be that Nyla has no intention of choosing just one.
