Binding 13

Chloe Walsh

Book 1 of Boys of Tommen

Shannon Lynch transfers to Tommen College hoping to escape a painful past, only to collide with Johnny Kavanagh, the school's golden-boy rugby star hiding an injury that could end his career. As an unlikely friendship forms between the guarded, bullied newcomer and the pressured athlete, the two slowly peel back each other's defenses while navigating small-town judgment, family dysfunction, and their own growing feelings. It's a long, emotionally heavy coming-of-age romance that builds gradually rather than through overt heat, ending on a note that pushes readers straight into the sequel.
