   Summary

   They’re both the best of the best- future draft picks with the world watching.

   One comes from love, support, and certainty. The other comes from pressure, fear, and a family he’s been trying to escape.

   When they meet, neither expects the quiet, careful connection that grows between them. But love has a way of finding its way in, even when it’s dangerous. Especially then.
