What do you know about Vincent Russell? Well...most people don't know anything, considering he is an absolute closed book, which is ironic since his face is always shoved into an open one. If you happen to catch the attention of the grouch, there is no promise that he won't cuss you out or give a crap about you at first glance. The unbothered, quiet boy sure has a lot brewing on the inside from his uprising, but Vincent isn't the intimidating asshole everyone makes him out to be. ...But he does have a weakness: that annoying kid that pried his way into his life called Hayden Williams. So, who exactly is Hayden Williams? He's the definition of a train wreck. Most people are surprised that the social butterfly can even keep his head attached to his body. With the chaotic energy he brings to every room, any night can end in spin the bottle, inappropriate jokes, and possible jail time...kidding (not really). However, there is depth to every party animal. The remaining question is how on earth are these two best friends? Even better, how do these two become more than friends when their personalities conflict in every way possible? Follow them through the years of their lives in 'Lilies for a Lifetime.' **This is a spin-off of 'Flowers for Football.' It can be read as a stand-alone but many spoilers and scenes from the book will be mentioned**

Kieran Tate is the type of person who just floats through life. He had a somewhat average childhood, has somewhat average grades, and isn't really anything special. That's the way he likes it to be; do all of the needed tricks without falling off the skateboard. Do what you need to do to be noticed, but never do enough to be considered an attention seeker. There's only one problem that interferes with Kieran's life that causes everything to not be so simple. Cassius Connor won't leave him alone. Kieran has tried time and time again to ignore his snide comments and nonsensical arguments, but Kieran can only take so much before his fuse blows.

Not only that, but Kieran is about to find the key to ruining Cassius's life. Will he use it to his advantage or will he use it to unwind Cassius's complexity? With a lot of rage, a lot of laughs, and a whole lot of healing, will Kieran and Cassius finally see eye to eye... or will their relationship blossom into something more? It's your usual enemies-to-lovers tale, but with a twist.
