@UofJ411: Thought you didn’t fumble @CasaNova87? #OffYourGame #LosingMoreThanTDs
I had the girl—THE girl.
Kay. My Skittles…MINE.
The a blitz from the past flattened me like a linebacker.
Time for a new playbook.
Mason Nova is…argh!
I told myself to stay away.
Warned my heart not to fall for him.
Did it listen? NOPE.
Now it feels like it’s crushed under a fallen cheer pyramid.
Sorry to tell you, but you are NOT a game changer.
GAME CHANGER is book 2 in the U of J Series and cannot be read as a stand-alone. It picks up right from the cliff LOOKING TO SCORE threw you off of. Can our too-charming-for-his-own-good Casanova win back his pint-sized, rainbow-haired sass queen in this second chance sports romance? The banter between these two continues until Mase and Kay’s story concludes in PLAYING FOR KEEPS out in December.

Author Note
Dear Reader,
GAME CHANGER IS BOOK 2 in the U of J Series. You must read book 1, LOOKING TO SCORE, prior to this installment to follow the story properly.
If I’m new to you and you haven’t read my BTU Alumni books you’re fine.
If you have met my other crazy squad of friends and Covenettes there are a few cameos in here you might enjoy, with a tiny time gap between the two series.
XOXO
Alley

#Chapter1
“This was a mistake.”
Replaying the words in my head does nothing to dilute the painful memory of them.
“That’s what I’m trying to tell you,” I implored. The irony of it all…the campus playboy, Mr. Casanova, accusing me of being a cheater.
“No. I mean this.”
Tears fall again at how callously he classified us.
“This is the reason I don’t do relationships.”
More tears, so many more.
“Oof. What the?”
Dimly I’m aware of being stepped on…neither the pain nor the sound of a body stumbling to the ground next to me really registering, lost inside my head…
“Are you breaking up with me?”
Even now I cringe at how pathetic I sounded.
“Yes.”
One word. One syllable. One finite answer and he was gone.
“Kay?”
Wait…
That was said out loud. I heard that with my ears, right?
“Kay?”
I know that voice.
“Kay?”
Why is JT calling me Kay? He barely ever calls me that, not since he coined my PF nickname.
PF.
Thinking of the name makes me scowl.
“Why don’t you tell me, P. F.” Mason spits out each letter of my nickname like
