Austin is the golden boy of his high school soccer team; he's short, he's fast, he's not afraid to talk back to the officials - and he's got a score to settle with a coach from the Summer League. Signing a contract to play with the AU Bears is something Austin's been dreaming of his whole life; the team is high profile and his face gets broadcasted to multiple sports teams across the world. But when he finds out the Bear's assistant coach is the same douchebag who called him out in the Summer League, Coach Ronan starts to break down his walls faster than he can build them up; Austin has many secrets, and the truth could get him kicked off the team. With his father's abuse becoming more and more violent, Austin desperately searches for a way out, and Ronan has an empty apartment and an extra key. -- HIGHEST RANKING: #35 IN ACTION AWARDS: Wunderkind Award Honourable Mention Addiction Award Participant "You're cute, kid.
