About
A hot quarterback with a giant ego and the jaded, aloof waterboy forced to tutor him: it's a win-win romance!
Eighteen-year-old Cameron Morelli is hot sh*t. Worse, he knows it. With a godlike physique, irresistible cerulean/electric/sapphire eyes (depends on the lighting), and a position as the varsity football team's quarterback, he can woo anyone. So one might imagine his mortification when he's rejected by Mason Bell – the team's waterboy and Elwood High's snarkiest little a-hole. Worse, this disgrace is followed by Cam's coach declaring he no longer meets the required GPA to play sports, and will be benched until he gets his grades up. Luckily, a reliable tutor steps forward to help him regain his dignity. Who else but the boy who just ruthlessly rejected him?
What Mason doesn't expect is to find something worthwhile in their conversations – something softening in the ice between them. Nor does Cam expect that Mason's placid smile hides a much more harrowing story. As they slowly nudge through each other's steel gates, the dangerous realities beyond high school threaten their deepening connection.
But really, it's about the football. Amanda Woody is a metro-Detroit-based queer author. They graduated from Central Michigan University with a degree in English and a certificate in creative writing. When not writing and reading happily ever afters,they can be found drinking caramel apple cocktails, playing Hades, or rewatching childhood shows with their siblings.
