Simon Radmore has always believed in soulmates.

As a hopeless romantic with a past he'd rather forget, he's spent years convincing himself that somewhere out there is the one person who will finally make him feel safe. But after too many disappointing first dates and too many years watching his best friend's older brother choose everyone except him—Simon begins to wonder if the kind of love he's been waiting for only exists in his imagination.

Everyone assumes Kai Hudson can't wait to be drafted.

With the draft fast approaching, he's supposed to be chasing the future he's worked his whole life to earn. Instead, he's terrified of leaving behind the only place that's ever felt like home: Montgomery University. As graduation looms, the thought of trading teammates, traditions, and familiar faces for an uncertain future is harder than any championship game he's ever played.

But when Simon and Kai are forced to partner on a social psychology project, years of assumptions begin to unravel.

Kai has always seen Simon as his little brother's best friend—someone he never allowed himself to look at differently. But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the connection that has quietly grown between them.

For Simon, falling for Kai was never the problem. It was believing that Kai could ever choose him.

As graduation forces them both to face the futures they've been avoiding, Simon and Kai have to decide whether love is meant to rescue them—or whether it's strongest when two people choose to face the unknown together.
