Zeta Tau Xi's Trick or Treat: ISU Frat Row Series

Gio

I've always been a hopeless romantic. As the quarterback of Iver's Sphere University, you'd think romance would come easy for me. But no; not so much. Sure random hook-ups are easy enough, but I learned a long time ago that getting anyone to stay longer than a night or two was out of my sphere. So I let the hope die, enjoying my popularity while ignoring the hollow of my heart.

That is until the fallout from shifting my priorities away from everything I've spent my life working towards leads me to being rescued by a long-time unrequited crush. We've been frat bros, friends, and teammates since I started university, but it only takes a single moment for our clearly defined lines to blur into something else. Something I'm terrified to put a name to, because he looks at me like he wants to stay and I think it might just destroy me if I'm wrong.

Romance has always been hard for me. Or well, non-existent, really. Hook-ups are easy, not wanting anything more and having to face rejection is even easier. Which is why when I realized I was attracted to Gio, I made sure strong lines between us were drawn. Because Gio has a type, and I'm nowhere near that type. I don't think I could handle a rejection from him, so I keep my feelings to myself. That is until he reveals a few things during a vulnerable moment that makes me realize I may have more of a shot than I thought.

It's Halloween month so I throw out an idea that's been bouncing in my head for a while that'll be the perfect excuse to stay in Gio's space so I can monopolize on that shot. A few weeks to get him to look further than skin deep to give me, and potentially us, a real chance at something more than the frat-bro, teammate friendship we've built over the years.

This is a sweet and steamy Halloween Achillean Romance between a quarterback with anxiety and panic attacks, falling hard for his wide receiver with past trauma of his own. This features a houseful of frat bros, preparing for a Halloween event, and two MCs that navigate friends to lovers to overcoming their own insecurities to put voice to the secrets of their hearts.

This is a spin-off series from my Iver's Sphere University series. Characters between the two series are interconnected, but the ISU Frat Row Series books will all be standalones.
