Secrets don't stay hidden forever.
I matched with a stranger on a queer hookup app.
He’s bold. Filthy. Addictive in a way that makes me forget everything else.
I don’t know his name.
He doesn’t know mine.
But when I'm at lunch with my girlfriend and see Micah Blackman standing there—my ex-best friend, the boy I kissed and then ruined—the game changes.
Micah’s back after two years of silence. He’s inked, pissed off, and he's back on the team; the one I captain. Which would be fine… if I didn’t still want him. If I weren’t still pretending I’m straight. If the last time we played together, I hadn’t ruined his life.
Secrets don’t stay hidden forever. And the closer we get to the truth, the harder it is to tell if we’re headed for redemption or one last disaster.
This is a MM sports romance packed with angst, banter, and slow-burn heat. If you love:
- Queer-awakening MMC trying (and failing) to stay in the closet
- Second-chance romance with all the tension of ex-best-friends to lovers
- Secret hookup apps that get way too complicated
- Sports settings with locker room tension, found family, and team dynamics
- A golden-boy captain and a tattooed outcast colliding on and off the field
- … then this story was written for you
Expect snark, steam, late-night texting, and a whole lot of pining. Our MCs will fumble, fall hard, and figure out if they’re brave enough to claim the love they never got over.
