Jesse Miller has always known who he is. Being out in college isn't easy, especially when the bullying from high school has left scars no one can see. So when Vinny Brown, star quarterback for the Missouri Western Griffons, starts flirting with him at a party, Jesse doesn't know what to believe. Is Vinny playing games, or does he want something real?

Needing answers, Jesse shows up at practice. To his surprise, Vinny admits he's interested. From that moment, they fall hard. It becomes an intense connection that burns fast and deep, defying the worlds they each come from.

But desire doesn't erase fear. The teasing from Vinny's teammates cuts at Jesse's confidence, feeding gnawing worry. Will Vinny turn on him too? Vinny swears it's harmless; just the guys being guys. Jesse tries to believe him. Because loving Vinny means taking everything that comes with him.

Then, something happens. Something Jesse hides from Vinny; something dark, private, and powerful enough to destroy what they've built.

Now, Jesse must decide, does he protect the man he loves from the truth, or risk everything to set it free.
