Synopsis

Lucas To my dad, Hunter King is a football prodigy destined for greatness. The son he always wanted. To me, Hunter King is the guy I’ve loved most of my life. The guy who happens to be my dead brother’s boyfriend. We were kids when Hunter came into our lives—the boy with the skill my brother didn’t have and the drive I lacked. The one who was always kind to me, who cared about my photography when, to my dad, it was a hobby, not worth anyone’s time. Looking at the world through the lens of my camera is the only thing I’ve ever wanted. Other than Hunter King. Hunter I would be nothing without the Blakes. Coach Blake nurtured my football talent from high school through college and now professionally. For all intents and purposes, he was my father. And when I started dating his son Ellis, it felt like I truly became part of the family. But since Ellis died, nothing feels right anymore—not even the game I’ve always loved. Until Lucas walks back into my life. With each lingering touch, I feel sensation returning. Every kiss breathes air into my lungs. And for the first time in three years, it feels like my heart starts beating again. But with every embrace, I’m betraying Ellis’s memory. The media, my team, Coach Blake will all condemn me. I’ll no longer be their Comeback King. I’ll be the man who is sleeping with his dead boyfriend’s brother. Yet none of it is enough to make me stop. The Comeback King is the first book in a new series. You can expect big feels and a secret relationship with pining and learning to love after loss.
