Their chemistry on the field is undeniable. But can they ever be more than friends?
Liam Payne is about to throw the biggest Hail Mary pass of his career.
If he can't turn NFL recruiters' heads this year, he'll lose his shot at the one thing he's ever been good at. But every quarterback needs a man he can count on down-field. For Liam, that man just might be the Tigers' new receiver, Niall Horan.
Four years ago, Niall nearly lost everything after being outed by his teammates.
Now he finally has a chance to get it all back as a walk-on for Eastshore College... if he can resist his immediate attraction to the gorgeous and very straight star quarterback.
An instant connection during practice leads to an easy friendship that only grows stronger off the field. Niall is convinced friendship is all it'll ever be, but a very confusing moment of impulse leaves both of them fumbling for answers about their relationship.
As curiosity gives way to passion and passion gives way to something deeper, Liam and Niall will have to tackle their own personal demons to bring home the win and earn their happy ending.

After years of not speaking or seeing each other, the old friends reunite. But as more unfolds about their years apart, the more they might just need each other more than ever.
