Brad Murray has been watching Justin Carr for three years. He has never once said a word about it.
Brad is the kind of man who holds things. Water bottles for teammates. Silence for people who need it. A spot on the offensive line where nothing gets through. He is steady, patient, and built like a wall — and he has been quietly, completely, impossibly in love with his best friend's roommate since the night Justin Carr laughed at something Brad said in a parking lot and Brad's entire chest rearranged itself.
Justin Carr is pre-law, sharp-tongued, and convinced that Brad Murray is the most unreadable human being he has ever met. Justin reads people for a living — or will, once he passes the bar. But Brad doesn't give tells. Brad gives water bottles and steady silence and the half-inch of space between his arm and Justin's shoulder on a booth seat that somehow never closes.
They've been circling each other for three years. The booth at Ed's Pizza knows. Their friends know. Even Rose, who never writes anything down, knows.
The only people who don't know are Brad and Justin.
When their senior year forces them into the same orbit — same booth, same friends, same Friday nights with garlic bread and a neon sign that keeps losing its E — the half-inch starts shrinking. And Brad Murray, who has held everything his whole life, is going to have to decide whether he can hold this too, or whether the only way to keep Justin is to finally, terrifyingly, let go.
Game of Inches is the first book in the Game of Inches series — a slow-burn M/M college sports romance about two men who have been standing one inch apart for three years and are about to find out what happens when the inch disappears. Dual POV. Full open-door heat. HEA guaranteed. Garlic bread not optional.
Genre: Gay Romance
