Not everyone's trust issues come from failed relationships. Sometimes, it comes from the family and friends closest to us.Griffin Miller and Parker Graham are living, breathing testaments to this truth.Somewhere on Griffins life path, between living with his perfect twin sister, fighting tooth and nail for his dads approval, and competing against his NFL-bound cousin, Griffin lost sight of what matters most in life:Peace. Health. Time. Purpose.If Griffin thought the first 18 years of his life were tough, it's nothing like what the past 5 months have been. Football, family, classes, and trying to keep his cousin alive is wearing him thin.Too thin.Parker is still reeling from a sudden life change that happened to him nearly six months ago. There's a chance that he could've healed by now, however without the support of his closest cousin & with the way his uncle is forcing him back onto the football field, those wounds are reopened every day.Even as Parkers life slowly becomes normal again, he still struggles to become the person that he used to be.When one little mistake during senior year changes the trajectory of both of their lives, it's too late to change.Parker can't do anything but stand back and watch his cousins life burn to the ground, hoping that his won't be next.Griffin is forced to chose between three choices: forgive his past, wreck his own future, or break all of the rules that he's been obeying for years.- - -It's like my lungs refuse to suck down air. They don't want to live after what just happened.Someone forces life back into them by slamming an oxygen mask over my nose and mouth. A million different people get the stretcher underneath me.Torment digs its' claws into my skin and rips it away.Grief squeezes real tears out of my eyes for the first time in eight years.Karma leans down next to me and whispers in my ear:'You can't outrun me anymore.'…

"What is your type, then?"I jolt, his question catching me off guard. Rolling my head to the side to look at him, blades of grass press against my cheek. Thank god he's not watching me because he can't see the war happening inside of my head.On the contrary, Miles eyes are fluttered shut, one of his hands resting on his stomach.Every inch of his dark skin is illuminated by the moon, like angels poured silver glitter over him. There's no part of his body that isn't tastefully sculpted, almost like he took a shearing knife to his muscles before coming here simply to carve out a perfect body to tease me with.His t-shirt pulls taunt with each breath. The fabric catches on his muscles.The words are caught in the back of my throat.You. You have always been my type.Instead, I snort. "Whatever it is, it sure as hell wasn't her."- - -Parker Graham is totally content to be living his normal life.He has everything a teenage boy could dream of: rich parents, a nice car, crazy athletic skills, the star spot on the football team, and girls from around the state chasing his every move.But that contentment is stirred up when Miles Holt moves into town.Miles is everything that Parker isn't: steadfast, tall, a party animal, bilingual, black, and openly gay... which he has no problem admitting nor proving.And, to Parker's dismay, it's love at first sight.In order to keep his life straight and continue the image of perfection, Parker cannot let out the secret of his sexuality due to his scholarships and quarterback reputation on the line.
