From beloved author Heather Buchta comes a juicy, mind-twisting thriller about football, romance, and the cost of playing the game.
In Texas, football is life.
For Finn Geringer, it’s a ticket to a better future. Transferring to East Pages High, Finn hopes to secure a college scholarship and a chance to provide for his grandmother. In this town where football reigns supreme, East Pages seems perfect. Until it’s not.
Finn’s girlfriend, Megan, notices rival players absent from games. As she digs deeper, her life becomes increasingly dangerous: Mysterious cars tail her, strangers issue threats, and she’s sure someone’s been in her bedroom. Is it her imagination, or is East Pages hiding a dark secret?
Meanwhile, Finn’s cousin, Brit, the head cheerleader, revels in the perks of popularity and the prestige of attending a renowned sports school. But when a football player dies, she learns that her peers are purposely keeping her in the dark. Is her popularity an illusion?
Finn must choose between pursuing his dreams or uncovering the truth. As he, Brit, and Megan unravel the team’s mysteries, they face a powerful force determined to protect the school’s legacy at all costs. From veteran author Heather Buchta comes a gripping second-guessing game of suspicion and paranoia, romance and reputation, and the lengths people will go to protect who—and what—they love.
Heather Buchta is a graduate of Loyola Marymount University, where she majored in communications and learning how to pay bills. Today, she enjoys obstacle-course racing, rock climbing, and snowboarding in warm weather. She lives Manhattan Beach-adjacent, in the not-as-sexy Lawndale, where she dotes on her dog and writes stories from her indoor porch. Her first novel, Beyond the Break, was published in 2020.
