NERO Most people wouldn't consider East Tennessee University the big city. But when you come from a small town like Snow Tip Falls, it’s more than you can handle. And when you've lived your life with secrets and the football universe shines that big ol' light on you, it's enough to push you over the edge. At least, it did me. It's a good thing Kendall was there to catch me. He doesn't remember the day we met, but I do. It was the moment I confirmed what I always thought, I like guys. But what do I do now that the coach, and the law, have mandated that I see Kendall three days a week? What does that mean for my NFL prospects? What does it mean for my too often broken heart? KENDALL I don't like football players. They made my life hell in high school. It turns out that gay, and weird wasn't a good combination. Now in University, my dream is to help others as a therapist. That starts by becoming a student counselor. So maybe I shouldn't have drawn a picture of a football player hanging from a noose on my professor's empathy questionnaire. In either case, he told me that I had to tackle my hang-up head-on to get what I wanted. So, now I'm counseling the worst of the worst, Nero Roman, a football player... who also happens to be the hottest, most drool-worthy, small-town boy I've ever met.
