He never thought he'd get a chance.... When Griffin graduated high school, he was voted most likely to die a virgin and most likely to have a pen leak through his pocket protector. The only sport he played was chess, and the only club he was a member of was the Thursday Night Gaming Club he started at the local library. He hated high school, especially football, but he adored Kyrie. Kyrie had been an all-star football player for four years in high school. He could have slept with any girl he wanted. The only problem was he wasn't interested in girls. He was interested in boys. One boy in particular. He was interested in Griffin, the dorkiest kid in school and the kid who lived on the same street as him. Ten long years later, his high school crush is back in town and looking sexier than ever.... And this time, Kyrie’s not letting Griffin slip away again. This is a 23,000-word novella, previously published under the pen name Reese Winters (me, still me!). It's been updated and re-edited, but no significant changes.

My hoodie is freakishly oversized. It covers my body in a way that makes me feel comfortable. Safe. Invisible. Wren Martin isn’t what you would call a popular girl.

Asher Reed—star athlete and heartthrob of Eastview High—is everything wrong with high school in one frustratingly good-looking body. But when an on-field accident leaves him sidelined for the season, he takes an interest in Wren. With an undeniable connection, Wren and Asher form a friendship that quickly turns into something more. Yuen Wright’s heartwarming debut is a reminder that when someone really sees you, the last thing you want is to be invisible.

Piper Evans: elementary school teacher by day--avid romance reader and anonymous podcaster by night.
