Sam
I spent eighteen months in prison, and as soon as I get out, I'm tasked with painting the face of the guy I killed on the stadium wall.
I know how it sounds. I put Edward Raine, the Lucero Wanderers' star player, in the ground, and now the county wants me up on a scaffold turning his face into a shrine. They're calling it redemption. I'm calling it the worst idea anyone's ever had. But I've never once turned down a self-destructive dare, so here I am, brush in hand, the most hated man in Lucero.
Then the team sends their monster to run me off. Cal Watson is six-foot-five and two hundred and fifty pounds of pure muscle. He's also the highest-paid player on the roster and the last man alive I should want.
He tells me to walk away. I tell him to go to hell. And yet somehow... the biggest man in this town ends up right where I want him. On his knees in front of me... doing what he's told.
Cal
Everybody in Lucero wants something from me. My coach wants a title. The boosters want a face for the program. Nobody wants the truth, which is that I've spent my whole life keeping my head down and my mouth shut so no one finds out what I actually crave.
Then Sam Brennan shows up in the last place on earth he should be. The whole town has it in for him.
I should force him off our field. Instead, I keep circling, night after night, because Sam's the first person who's ever given me orders just to see me quiver.
A killer with a paintbrush. A giant who kneels only for him. And a town that will never accept them being together.
