He knows they were friends

He knows they were enemies

But were they ever lovers?

Aboriginal footballer and rising superstar Sean Hiller wakes up in hospital missing the last two years of his life. The first thing he sees is the good-for-nothing white boy he hates—his teammate, Jack Reaver. And the last thing he remembers is an altercation with Jack in the locker room.

Jack must’ve put him here. Except Jack didn’t cause his accident because he’s now Sean’s best friend and roommate. Jack will be taking Sean home to care for him while he recovers. Sean can’t believe it. Letting Jack back in means confronting what happened between them when they were seventeen and Sean can’t do that.

But when he discovers Jack strung out in their kitchen at 2am, Sean takes care of him in a way he’d never dreamed possible. And Jack refuses to tell him exactly what that means. As Sean stares down the prospect of being medically retired at twenty-seven, the pain of not knowing who they are to each other hurts him more than the loss of his career.

He knows they could’ve been friends, could’ve been more. He knows they became enemies instead. But were they ever lovers?
