"What, too busy fucking your other boyfriend to get here on time?"

He was the bully of Redwood University. Cocky, ruthless, and worshipped. Now, Blake Callahan is a first-round NFL draft pick with the world at his feet and a championship win under his belt. Fame, fortune, and a mansion in the hills? Check. Everything he ever wanted? Almost.

Because she’s not by his side.

She was never supposed to matter, not to someone like him. But the moment he saw her, he was lost. Isolating her, bullying her, and loving her, she became his girlfriend.

Somewhere between the hallway arguments, bruised wrists, and desperate apologies, she became the one addiction Blake can’t shake. And tonight? She's late to his party. The one thrown in his honor. And that’s enough to send the most dangerous man in the league spiraling.

He doesn’t know how to love without breaking. Doesn’t know how to want without ruining.

But he knows this: if she walks away now, he’ll burn the whole city down just to make her look back.

Meet the Boys

┗━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━┛

The Redwood Hawks are more than a pro football team—they’re a powder keg held together by secrets, bruises, and Roman Carter’s unshakeable spine.

Roman Carter is the one they trust when things go bad and the one they fear when they go too far. He's the one who keeps the peace and the one they look up to. He’s the king no one dares to cross—except maybe his girl. The girl he's one mouth-off from locking down.

Lucas Rollings is the quarterback who smiles too widely for the cameras and flirts too close for comfort. He’s brilliant under stadium lights and reckless under neon ones—and can’t help testing boundaries.

Devon Hart is the golden wide receiver who knows how to shine for gossip blogs and Instagram likes—the pretty boy who hides his cracks behind borrowed headlines and half-true rumors.

Blake Callahan, the rookie running back, is all raw edges and coiled fists—a rich kid who loves too hard and holds on too tight. He got his girl the ugly way and keeps her by sheer force of will, but lately, that grip is slipping.

Cole Dawson is the gentle giant on the line—Roman’s quiet mirror, the calm, the rest of them circle when things get ugly. Cole’s loyalty runs bone-deep and clean.

Malik Ford is all bark, flash, and hungry eyes—he talks too much and tests too hard. He never gets what he wants, but he keeps trying, mostly because he likes the heat that sparks when other people’s patience thins.

Dante Rosales is the kicker who always disappears from every social situation. And they let him, except for Roman. Dante is the quiet one who would rather be sleeping than at a social event. He lives to eat, sleep, and clearly, to play football. But under it all, the bottles keep coming, and so do the thoughts.
