It started with a crush. The best stories always do. Our story sounds predictable, short-lived, and destined for failure. Lincoln Beckett is the star wide receiver at Brighton University-- smart, funny, and like many would guess, heartbreak shines in his dark eyes and is etched across his jaw. He's popular, a guaranteed draft pick, and worst of all: my brother's best friend. I tried not to like him. I have an entire list of reasons, reasons that have become my rules for dating. Rules that Lincoln continues bending.
