The Blurb

People at Covey U think I'm cursed.

Considering I spent a night in jail, accidentally became a social outcast, and may have burned down a sorority house, they might have a point.

Now I'm living with my overprotective twin brother and his infuriating best friend, Jackson James—a giant, baseball-cap-wearing defensive end who seems to exist solely to push every button I have.

Jackson and I have rules. Mainly that we stay out of each other's way.

Then my brother leaves town for ten days.

Suddenly, Jackson and I are alone in the apartment with years of insults, buried attraction, and enough unresolved tension to start another fire.

When Jackson becomes convinced someone has cursed him into obsessing over me, his solution is simple: sleep with someone else and break the spell.

His plan fails spectacularly.

Now he watches me get ready for dates, growls whenever another man looks at me, and admits he can't stop thinking about everything he wants to do to me.

One reckless night changes our relationship forever.

The man I thought hated me becomes the first person to make me feel beautiful without conditions. He sees the ambition I'm too afraid to claim, believes in my voice, and refuses to let the rest of the world define me by my worst moments.

There's just one enormous problem.

Jackson is my brother's best friend.

And when Tanner discovers what we've been doing behind his back, the only thing more explosive than our chemistry might be the fallout.

Pick Me is a filthy, funny, open-door college-football romance featuring enemies to lovers, forced-proximity roommates, brother's best friend, a secretly obsessed hero, body positivity, and two supposed screwups who become unstoppable together. It can be read as a complete standalone and is the final book in the Covey U series.
