Jayden knew confessing was a risk.
He just didn't expect Tate to say no-and disappear.
When summer preseason camp begins, Jayden finally tells his best friend the truth: he's been in love with Tate for years. Tate shuts him out.
By the time the regular season begins, the Tate everyone knew is gone-replaced by chaos, reckless behavior, and trouble that keeps stacking up on and off the field. Without Jayden reining him in, Tate spirals fast, pushing himself toward destruction.
Jayden refuses to walk away.
With two dads who run an elite private security company, Jayden starts digging-and what he uncovers about Tate's family is darker than he ever imagined. Abuse. Control. Threats disguised as tradition.A future Tate never chose.
Protecting Tate means crossing lines.
Breaking rules.
And playing a game no one prepared him for.
Because when it comes to the man he loves, Jayden isn't interested in fair plays or clean wins.
He's willing to make the illegal play.
