Like a bolt of lightning, this stupid boy appeared in my life. First day of summer break between first and second grade, he just appeared- standing on my porch like he was born there. Straight brown hair, wide dark eyes and a fresh sunburn across his cheeks. He was already talking before I even opened the door. I don't know how it happened but it's been ten years. And he's still here. Talking, whether or not I'm listening. Laughing, even if no one else is. He's still too quick- racing around the world like he's scared he's going to miss it. He's gotten taller...much taller. His hair is a little longer, a little wavier, but under the light it still looks the same golden brown it did when we were nine. And now, finally, he was a high school graduate. We both were. Like a bolt of lightning he appeared and like the sun he refused to disappear. _____________________________________________ I fell asleep with my chin pointed at him, the outline of his face being the last thing I saw. How was I supposed to do this? It had always been difficult, hiding this secret, keeping him close. But now, my focus was starting to slip. I couldn't see anything but his lips, his hands, his smile. I couldn't hear anything but my name in his mouth, his jagged breaths and that loud laugh. How am I supposed to be okay with this? How am I supposed to focus on anything other than him? #1- slowburn- 11.10.25🥇 #1- friends to lovers- 11.01.25🥇 #1- fluffandsmut- 11.02.25🥇 #1- college- 11.06.25🥇 #1- best friends- 11.12.25🥇 #3- bxblove- 11.30.25🥉 #4- boyxboy- 11.01.25 #4- lgbt- 11.15.25 #6- teammates- 10.30.25 #28- mental health- 11.09.25 #31- coming of age- 11.15.25 #36- roommates- 11.04.25 #56- basketball- 11.05.25 #60- secret relationship- 11.02.25 #74- boyxboyromance- 11.01.25

Book one of The Heartbreak Club Duet: Catching Tate Archer & Rescuing Damon Stryker. -- TATE ARCHER-DIAZ: He's the unobtainable one. The captain. The "bad boy." The one whose entire life revolves around basketball. However, I caught his attention from the first time he laid eyes on me, and when he approached me with offerings of a date, I found myself determined to set the little bad boy off like a firework. Into the sky and away from me. Damon Stryker, captain of Duke University's basketball team, decided I was the one he wanted, and I tried so hard to ignore the way he spoke in that hard, stoic voice that left little room for arguments. If he's determined to capture his Firefly, then he needs to put in the work. We aren't supposed to be together. We have to remain a secret. If we're caught, it could spell disastrous consequences for both of us. But try as I may, I can't prevent myself from falling for the stoic man because he treats me like I'm the finest gem. I get lost in those villainous green eyes, and I'm hypnotized. But as Chapel Hill's cheer captain, rivaled against Damon's school, Duke, we would ruin our futures before they began. We can't be caught. If we were caught, Damon would lose his position on Duke's basketball team, effectively diminishing his chances of making it to the NBA. It doesn't help that the sports world is still as homophobic as they comes, so a gay relationship is out of the question. But we can't stay away from each other. We fall in love, live through our secret relationship for over two years, and when it comes to telling our families and the world? Well, it doesn't go according to plan. It will all fall down, but you need to understand how we build our story first. Otherwise, you won't be able to understand how our love ends up withstanding a great tragedy. Our relationship will be tested in ways no relationship should need to be tested. And we will make it, but the road to our happy ending is a long one.
