Leo Morelli has a reputation. He's a heartbreaker. It's chronic. Felix Finley had a reputation. A less fun one. He left it behind. He wants it to stay buried forever. Only when he joins the national volleyball team, old secrets get a little difficult to keep. Felix and Leo have met before. They have history. It's complicated. There's something brewing between them. There has been for a while. Tension. It's palpable. Unavoidable. However, neither of them do feelings. One thinks they're a waste of time, and the other thinks feelings ruin everything. The problem is, feelings don't care about what anyone wants. They happen anyway, and when they do, things get messy.

BOOK 2 Wyatt has spent most of his life holding everything together-his younger sister, his home, his own fragile emotions. Life taught him early that people can leave, and that sometimes the safest place is the one you create yourself. Enter Liam Carter: loud, impulsive, endlessly moving, and the last person Wyatt thinks he could ever get along with. When a school project pairs them together, old grudges and first impressions collide, forcing Wyatt to navigate messy emotions, sudden laughter, and unexpected connection. Liam doesn't see the careful structure behind Wyatt's calm, and Wyatt doesn't see the soft, unguarded parts Liam keeps hidden. As they spend more time together, boundaries blur, walls crumble, and both boys discover the uncomfortable, thrilling truth: maybe people aren't meant to be predictable-and maybe love doesn't come in neat lines.
