Description
Alex’s world is falling apart. Soccer was supposed to be his escape, the ticket to Alex’s future. But with his dad’s trial looming, his mom’s medical bills piling up, and his boyfriend moving half a country away?
There’s just no way Alex can justify staying on the university team. Maybe his dreams of going pro is just that – dreams. And it’s time for Alex to wake up.
But he can’t seem to escape his father’s shadow, even now.
Someone is after Alex. Following him, sending him threats. Not just Alex either, but his found family, his friends. He doesn’t know it yet, but Alex is running out of time.
He’s trying to hold it together, for Ian’s sake. Trying his best to protect the man he — he just might love. That claims to love Alex back. Him. And if that’s not worth fighting for, Alex doesn’t know what is. So he’ll do whatever it takes, even if it means breaking a few rules.
At least one of them should be able to follow their dreams…
Falling in love wasn’t part of the plan. Play hard, get scouted, and hope to be signed to a professional team? It’s the closest Ian’s ever had to a goal in life – until he met Alex.
One year, Alex made Ian promise. One year of settling into a new city, navigating his new team, and trying to make things work between them despite the distance. All while having to watch his boyfriend struggle with the problems in his life from afar.
Ian’s not sure what he’ll do, if he doesn’t play soccer. But in one year? He’s pretty sure he’ll find out…
Can Alex and Ian juggle their love for the game with their love for each other? Has the clock run out on their relationship –
Or will they score something that lasts?
