Set in a small Southern town, this new-adult MM romance follows Silas, a tough kid from the wrong side of the tracks, and Blaine, the town's golden-boy quarterback, who despise each other on the surface but are secretly drawn into a forbidden, increasingly obsessive relationship. As family pressures, social status, and old grudges threaten to expose them, the two boys have to decide whether their connection is worth the risk of letting everyone else in. It's a high-school-set enemies-to-lovers story heavy on secret hookups, possessiveness, and slow-building emotional vulnerability.
