Kyle Benjamin Howard is a British University student studying English Literature at Leeds Metropolitan University. He's a musician in his spare time and he's been single most of his life; much like his Best Friend in New Zealand, Clarke Johnathon Daniels.
Kyle makes the trip from his home in South Yorkshire, United Kingdom to visit Clarke in Otatara in New Zealand on the outskirts of Invercargill.
The boys have known each other since they were 15 and have been to hell and back together; Clarke helped Kyle while he was coping with depression and anxiety as a result of his bullying when he came out. The boys are falling for each other, they don't know it yet but when they first hold the other in their arms they fall for the other like they would fall to sleep - "Slowly, then all at once." -
They've both been a form of solidarity for the other when things have become tough...

Caden was on a mission, a mission to get back his soon-to-be stepbrother and his lover that meant more to him than he could express in words.

WARNING: There are massive spoilers for Teammates With Benefits. If you don't want a book full of smut, then this book can kind of be read as a standalone, but I would not recommend it. There will most likely be smut, but this is going to be a slow burn. Homophobia will be way more present than it was in Teammates With Benefits. My updating schedule will be the exact same as it was for Teammates With Benefits. Every Monday and Friday at 7 AM PST/10 AM EST. This will be consistent throughout the entire book. This book will probably be under constant editing, similar to Teammates With Benefits. Again, the schedule of these football (American football) games will not be the same as it is in real life. In real life, college football ends in January, but in this book, games will go until May. This is most likely not going to be the only sequel/spin off I write off of Teammates With Benefits. I'll see where all the characters are by the end of this book, decide if I want to or am at least motivated enough to write another book with these characters. I most likely will be.
