2. Once Upon a Player by Agay Llanera
Gorgeous college senior Val Fabian is a player in every

sense of the word. She’s the star of her university’s
volleyball team, and she never runs out of dates. But it
seems that this year, she has finally been bitten by the
commitment bug. She sets her sights on an unexpected
target – the unassuming yet ultra-cute Jake Clementia.
Val is used to getting what she wants, and is sure she’ll
snag him before graduation. But in the process of winning
his heart, she is sideswiped by a surprise move that sends
her tumbling from her pedestal.
