Spring Tide by Ki Stephens

HARPER St. James lives for life’s small joys—sunburnt shoulders, half-melted ice cream, and flirty summer crushes. So when a lie snowballs into campus-wide gossip that she’s dating a football player, Harper doesn’t correct it. Not if it gets her closer to the guy she actually wants to impress.

LUCA Reynolds would rather keep his head down and expectations low. But when a knee injury threatens his shot at the draft, he needs help—and fast. Preferably from someone with sports med experience. Discreet. Unofficial. Desperate.

Harper owes him.

A secret for a secret. A lie for a lie. It’s not really blackmail if she’s the one who used him first.
