Need a cozy, holiday romance? This is for you!
Mackenzie is an outgoing sorority girl and Corbyn is the quiet, focused basketball star. Corbyn is hell-bent on not being distracted my girls and/or having a girlfriend during basketball season. It’s all he’s ever known with how hard his dad is on him regarding the sport. Yet, he cannot get Mackenzie out of his head.
The two both end up staying on campus during Christmas break and are the only ones in their houses (Mackenzie - sorority house and Corbyn - basketball house). Mackenzie is persistent which Corbyn *thinks* he finds annoying, but they end up spending quite a bit of time together and it’s so heartwarming to see MacKenzie chipping away at Corbyn’s wall of ice and seeing a budding romance. Seriously, this story will pull at your heartstrings. I wasn’t ready for it to end. I loved MacKenzie and Corbyn.
Notes: Chapter 21 - all the warm fuzzy swoony feelings!!! 🥹💚 but thennnnnn… Chapter 30 - I repeatedly said “wtf Corbyn.”
Tropes: forced proximity, toxic parent-child dynamic, sports romance, basketball romance, college romance, contemporary romance, grumpy sunshine, winter/Christmas.
