Part of Boys of Avix
First published 2025
He dominates the football field and breaks league records, but the pressure crushes him from within. A betrayal from someone he trusted leaves him drowning with no way up. Then she appears. He tries to keep his distance to protect them both, but he cannot resist her pull. She becomes everything he never knew he wanted, far more than he believes he deserves. This knowledge tells him he cannot keep her, yet he falls in love anyway. Just as he starts becoming the man he wants to be, his world collapses. He faces a choice that could shatter them both. He returns to where he began: a man with nothing to offer, while she remains a woman who deserves everything. Set in the college football world, this story explores whether love can survive when the stakes threaten to destroy both players.
