I should’ve known better than to play this game with Asher Knox. He’s the backup quarterback for Mystic Falls, with enough charm and swagger to make anyone forget their better judgment. And me? I just got out of a messy breakup with his teammate—and Fraternity brother—the starting quarterback.
The smart thing would be to walk away, to ignore the heat in his gaze and the way he ignites something inside me I didn’t know I was missing. Something wild, reckless, and utterly consuming.
But then a chance encounter in the library—of all places—leads to Asher inviting me to a party.
The more I push Asher away, the closer he gets—and the harder it is to resist the electric pull between us. He makes me forget the rules, forget the consequences. So, I decide it’s better to keep him exactly where I want my dirty little secret.
But with Asher, nothing stays hidden for long. And when everything comes to light, I’ll have to face the this isn’t a game anymore.
The Backup is a full-length, spicy standalone romance packed with heat, heart, and plenty of drama—complete with a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
