At St. Ives Boys' School, rugby is everything. On the field, Leo and Massimo are teammates bound by duty - but off it, they're rivals, locked in a constant battle of pride, bruises, and biting words. Everyone sees their clashes as typical locker-room rivalry. No one sees the glances that last too long, the touches that burn, the silence heavy with everything unsaid.
One stolen kiss shatters the fragile balance between hate and desire, plunging them into a dangerous game where every move risks exposure. Between brutal practices, suffocating assemblies, and nights spent wrestling with the truth in silence, Leo and Massimo must decide: will they keep fighting against what they feel, or finally surrender to it - even if it costs them everything?
Enemies, teammates, maybe something more - in the bruising world of school rugby, love is the riskiest play of all.

Miles Medley knows how to gamble with a pair of cards in his hands and a stack of coins in front of him, but all his skill is lost when navigating the most arrogant blonde: Liam Coleman.
With a baseball glove on his hand, Liam Coleman is well-versed with making a double play on second base, it is as natural as inhaling breath. However, his adroitness on the field can't be applied to his rivalry with Miles Medley, because somehow, there is no such thing as a fine line.
When the pair of boys find themselves detained in the same steel cellar and hunted by the same wicked man, will they form an alliance? Or will they simply live life as usual, as hopeless enemies?
