Then he finds out he’s not the only one that’s new to pro sports, and he gets closer and closer to one of the players as they try to make sense of the whole crazy thing together. But the irony of the new position isn’t lost on him - he’s never cared a whole lot for sports, and even far less about the world of professional sports, which is right where he’s landed. Most guys would kill for his new job, and Rett’s certainly desperate for the paycheck. Luckily, a job offer in a new town solves his problem for him, giving him the perfect excuse to run away yet again from the uncomfortable feeling of someone trying to get close to him, even if it means picking up after seven years of school and starting over. His current boyfriend wants to take their relationship to the next level, which makes Rett hesitant and doubtful. And he winds up changing the lives of several of the men on that Spec-Ops team as much as they changed his.Rett’s done some running away in his life, from family and from boyfriends, and he’s not above doing it again.

What Matt doesn’t realize is that the bond of brotherhood runs both ways. He finds that he can, after all, make some very overdue changes in his own life.

When called upon, he steps up when every fiber of his being tells him not to, and discovers something deep inside himself that he didn’t realize was even there. And that’s when he finds out that first impressions can be misleading. Worse, a quirk of his situation forces him to spend time with them that he’d rather not. He’s luckily rescued by a team of US Spec-Ops Forces, only to find out they’re a bunch of bigoted jerks. Right?īut suddenly, Matt finds himself in a desperate life-or-death situation on a trip overseas, and he realizes just how much he misses home, and Brian. If he just shows a little faith and trust, he’ll appreciate what he has with Brian the way he should. And so what if Brian seems to invite Matt’s suspicions on occasion. So what if his friends tend to question just how good his boyfriend is, and so what if Brian tends to have inexplicable mood swings. And he has a very good-looking boyfriend, Brian, who he’s been happily dating for over a year now. He has his friends and his softball and his volunteer work.
