Book Description
College football's most notorious tight end wants to show her that everything's bigger in Texas. Cassie I can't stand jocks. And I don't know the first thing about football. So it's just my luck that the tutoring job I take to get me through graduate school involves making sure a dumb jock passes his classes. Now, I'm babysitting Colton King, a spoiled arrogant player who's as famous for his bedroom antics as he is for his football skills. The tight end with the filthy mouth tells me he'll show me that everything's bigger in Texas. And heaven help me, I just might be considering it. * * * Colton My life is one big party, and that's never going to change. Not even if my coach finds me a nerdy tutor he thinks will keep me in line. Miss Goody Two Shoes is uptight, high-strung, and unimpressed by the fact that I'm a campus legend. Even worse, the hot little tutor is as pure as the driven snow. Debauching her and making her mine is the ultimate challenge. And I always rise to the occasion.

Book Description
A Best Book of 2020 from Library Journal, CrimeReads, and BookPage “Marks the debut of an already accomplished novelist.” —John Banville The town of Bentley holds two things dear: its football, and its secrets. But when star quarterback Dylan Whitley goes missing, an unremitting fear grips this remote corner of Texas. Joel Whitley was shamed out of conservative Bentley ten years ago, and while he’s finally made a life for himself as a gay man in New York, his younger brother’s disappearance soon brings him back to a place he thought he’d escaped for good. Meanwhile, Sheriff’s Deputy Starsha Clark stayed in Bentley; Joel’s return brings back painful memories—not to mention questions—about her own missing brother. And in the high school hallways, Dylan’s friends begin to suspect that their classmates know far more than they’re telling the police. Together, these unlikely allies will stir up secrets their town has long tried to ignore, drawing the attention of dangerous men who will stop at nothing to see that their crimes stay buried. But no one is quite prepared to face the darkness that’s begun to haunt their nightmares, whispering about a place long thought to be nothing but an urban legend: an empty night, a flicker of light on the horizon—The Bright Lands. Shocking, twisty and relentlessly suspenseful, John Fram’s debut is a heart-pounding story about old secrets, modern anxieties and the price young men pay for glory.
