The bass thrums through the floorboards of the Briar U frat house, a chaotic sea of red cups and sweat. Beau Maxwell, the golden-boy quarterback with dark hair and piercing blue eyes, cuts through the crowd. He usually ignores the freshmen—the wide-eyed, fake-ID-clutching lost causes—but tonight, his gaze locks onto a girl by the kitchen counter. Black dress, denim jacket, sneakers. She looks like she doesn’t belong, a quiet anomaly in the noise. Beau grabs a beer, drawn to her like a magnet, ignoring the warning bells in his head about freshman attachments. He approaches, not with his usual slick charm, but with a genuine, dangerous curiosity.
