He is the star baseball captain who can have anyone. I am the bookish virgin next door who just wants to be invisible. We should not make sense… but we do.
Fable I came to college to escape my sheltered life, not to become the center of attention. But when I flood the dorm laundry room on day one, the guy who rescues me is not just anyone. He is Conrad baseball god, campus royalty, and my new neighbor.
He should ignore me. Instead, he is fixing my messes, defending me from bullies, and reading Jane Austen simply because I asked. I know I should not let him in, since my track record with trusting people is disastrous, but Conrad makes me feel safe in a way I have never known.
Conrad Everyone thinks I am just the rich jock with a bad attitude and a fear of commitment. They are not wrong. Keeping things casual is safer than getting hurt. Then Fable moves in next door.
He is awkward, earnest, and wears sweater vests without irony. He is everything I am not supposed to want. But when I see him smiling at someone else, I do not only get jealous, I get possessive. I have spent years running from my feelings, but for Fable I might finally be ready to stand my ground.
FABLE is a swoony, low-angst, slow burn MM college sports romance featuring a protective bisexual jock, a shy literature nerd, coffee left outside doors, and a hard-won Happy Ever After.
