Jace Calloway

Jace Calloway was the name everyone at Blackridge University knew. Twenty-one years old, captain of the football team, six-foot-three, broad shoulders, dark brown hair that always looked effortlessly messy, and sharp hazel eyes that rarely missed anything on the field. He was the face of the university—confident, respected, and impossible to ignore. Professors admired his discipline, students idolized him, and every Friday night the stadium echoed with chants of his name. To everyone around him, Jace’s future was already written: graduate, go professional, and never look back. On the other side of campus, a black luxury SUV rolled silently to a stop outside the administration building She stepped out dressed in the university uniform, her dark hair falling perfectly over her shoulders, her expression calm and unreadable. Not a single student recognized her. No one knew her name, where she’d transferred from, or why someone with armed bodyguards had been dropped off before they disappeared as quickly as they came. Hidden beneath the quiet elegance was a secret powerful enough to change everything. She wasn’t just another transfer student. She was the only daughter of one of the most feared mafia families in the world. And no one at Blackridge University had the slightest idea who had just walked through their gates. * Full name: Jace Calloway * Age: 21 * Height: 6’3” (190 cm) * Role: Captain of the Blackridge University football team * Appearance: Dark brown messy hair, hazel eyes, clean beard, athletic build * Personality: Confident, charismatic, competitive, protective of his friends, calm under pressure * Best friend: Max * Reputation: The most popular student on campus and future professional football star
