Never Backing Down by Kristin MacQueen

For months I’ve been going through the motions without actually living. The fire not only destroyed my home, but my entire life. The only thing that makes me happy is playing video games with a complete stranger… until I bump into Levi at college. He’s an unwelcome player in my day to day life, one who won’t let me push him away no matter how hard I try.
Practice and school consume my life, but I always leave time for video games with my mystery girl. She refuses to reveal her identity, always blowing off my advances. Then there’s the cute girl I’ve been seeing around. Smart as a whip and takes no prisoners, she tries her hardest to keep her distance, but I’m never backing down when love might be the reset button on life we both need.
