The Football Player's Obsession

Jax

Penny Fox doesn't know it yet, but she's mine.

She's been mine since the moment our eyes locked across the hall in high school. While she kept her head buried in books, I kept my distance, hiding in the shadows. Waiting. Watching. She has no idea how much of her life I've memorized. Every laugh, every sigh, every tear—it's all burned into my brain.

I followed her to college. She's my obsession, my purpose. I was going to take my time, ease her into the idea that she belongs to me. But then she showed up at a frat party wearing some tiny little dress, trying to be someone she's not, and every single plan I had went up in smoke.

She thinks she's reinventing herself? No. She doesn't need to. She just needs me.

Penny doesn't know it yet, but tonight is the last night she's walking around pretending she's single. I've waited long enough. She's mine—and I'll do whatever it takes to make her realize it.

Penny

I'm not that girl anymore.

At least, not the girl I used to be—the quiet, shy one who always sat in the back of the class, never spoke up, never stood out.

College is for trying new things, right? So I'm stepping out of my comfort zone. Reinventing myself.

But I should have known I'd get in way over my head.

Jax is over-the-top obsessed with Penny, and he's going to do whatever it takes to protect her. If insanely jealous, possessive alpha males are your jam, you're going to love this one.
