FRANKIE: I’m the literal lifeline of hydration for the NSU Kestrels rugby team—the water boy. My role is clear: tote the water, crack the jokes, and shoulder the dreams of others. But hidden under the surface is a secret self... A girl’s heart living under a disguise I never chose for myself. Every game is a countdown to the inevitable reveal. But I feel the most vulnerable in the searching eyes of Pace Pendragon, the team’s captain. Under his watchful gaze, my carefully constructed persona begins to crumble. PACE: My world is one of strategy, grit, and the relentless pursuit of triumph. I’m the commander on the field, the one who sets the line and leads the charge. Rugby is a game of power and poise, and as its leader, I know every play and player. Until Frankie Mercer. The wildcard. A puzzle that doesn’t quite fit—a rogue play, defying every strategy I’ve mastered. Frankie’s enigma presents the thrill of the unknown, transforming the game into one with stakes higher than any championship. The closer I get, the more I realize that unraveling Frankie’s layers begins to rewrite the rules of the game. A game that only becomes ours. Please note that this is a M-F hidden identity romance.
