The Mended Game (Campus Series 1)
Kiko Reyes is San Lazaro University's undisputed Basketball MVP-The Ace of the Sunbirds. He's built his life on speed, agility, and the deafening cheers of the crowd. But a devastating knee injury shatters his season, his career, and his ego.
His fate now rests in the hands of Marco "Mac" Villanueva, a quiet, meticulous Physical Therapy intern whose world is defined by measurements, slow repetition, and focused calm. Marco isn't interested in Kiko's celebrity; he's only interested in the ligaments and muscle fibers that need rebuilding.
Confined to the rehab room, the star athlete accustomed to control clashes with the gentle healer who demands absolute patience. As Marco meticulously mends Kiko's body, Kiko starts to realize that the most important game isn't played on the court, but in the vulnerable space between two people. Can the Ace learn to surrender his pride and allow the Healer to mend not just his knee, but his heart?
