Close to Me

A sexy, enemies to lovers sports romance by New York Times bestselling author, Monica Murphy



Asher Davis is many things to me.



My first crush. My first kiss.



And most importantly, the boy who's broken my heart more times than I can ever count.



Yet there is something about the brooding bad boy that I can't resist.



We're those people you see in high school who avoid eye contact with each other in the hallway, even though we know where the other is at all times. We're miserable when we're forced to work together in class, our gazes full of hatred. And we are also that couple you gossip about when they win homecoming prince and princess their sophomore year...



The irony is not lost on me because I'm so far from being his princess. I'm the girl he toys with when he's bored. And he's definitely not my prince, no matter how badly I want him to be. The back and forth is what kills me the most. I'm equally torn between wanting to run to him and away from him, and he knows it.



Finally it's our senior year and we're months away from never having to see each other again when disaster strikes-and brings us closer together. All it takes is one heated touch, and I'm burning for Ash. Hotter than I ever have. But will that burn turn into a devastating fire we can't come back from? Or can we actually make it work this time?



Close to Me is book one in the standalone Callahans series.
