Summary
“Dan is a good person. She puts up with a lot from me that she shouldn’t really have to. I haven’t known her or Matt for that long but they’re always trying their best to make me happy. Part of me wonders if they think I’m weird. Online or at school.”
“Is there a difference?”
“What?”
“Between who you are online and at home?”
“Yes,” Neil said hesitantly.

Neil Josten knows he's safe. He hasn't had to run since he enlisted the help of his Uncle Stuart to get rid of his father. Unfortunately, old habits die hard. Neil created a new, virtual identity for himself under the alias GhostCore. With a loud mouth and reputation for playing solo, it was only a matter of time before the world came together to prove him wrong.
It was an accident when his classmates found out he played. Visiting their guild was meant to be a one time thing. Sticking around and finding his place in the world was not part of the deal.

Summary
“Will you be able to play?” Dan asks, voice layered with concern.
Neil blinks, confused. “Why wouldn’t I be able to play?”
“What our fearless leader means is—will you be able to focus on the game instead of Andrew’s mouth and impressive biceps,” Allison clarifies, saddling up next to Neil with a knowing look.
“I—” Neil starts.
“I mean, I get it,” Allison continues. “He has really nice biceps.”

Neil lets a rival goalie take a body shot off him at a bar. Things devolve from there.

Summary
When Andrew came to Palmetto, he never thought it might become home – and even now he’s still not sure it is. Despite living there for nearly six years now, he doesn’t really feel like he belongs. He feels like he’s drifting, simply surviving day after day of whatever life has in store for him. Then Neil Josten shows up – a redhead with a fiery attitude and a million secrets, and Andrew's interest is instantly captured.
But the thing is…Neil’s not the only one with secrets in this town. Everyone seems to have something they’ve kept hidden in the dark. And as soon as one thread gets pulled, they all seem to come unraveled…
Featuring second chances, making mistakes, budding relationships, and as many fall shenanigans as possible – welcome to the smalltown world of Palmetto!

Summary
There are lines Andrew Minyard knows he shouldn’t cross, and Neil Josten is all of them.
He’s Kevin’s little brother, Coach Wymack’s baby boy, and untouchable in more ways than one. But Neil—maddeningly beautiful, frustratingly carefree, and entirely unaware of his own allure—has a way of pulling everyone into his orbit.
The more Andrew resists, the closer he’s drawn, and he’s left to confront the one feeling he never wanted: wanting something—or someone—he can’t have.

Summary
In which Andrew gets a job as a bouncer in the same club where Neil strips.
He has a rule — a firm one, one he thinks is the only reason he stays sane despite everything — which is to touch Neil as little as possible. It's a self-imposed torture. It’s his last line of defense.

Or: He fucking breaks it.
