Corner looks at Henry, tears flowing from his eyes, "Why can't you love me?I love you."
Henry looks at him coldly, "We’re only fuck buddies, nothing more. We agreed: no strings attached."
"Then let's end this," Corner says. "I’ve found someone who actually appreciates me."
The detachment vanishes from Henry's face, replaced by a dark, possessive fury. "No way," he shouts, grabbing Corner. "I'll kill that bastard!"
Henry, the captain of the Ontario Rugby Club, and Corner, the star of their fiercest rivals in Toronto, have always been enemies—until a hotel room mix-up at a gay bar leads to a night of explosive, secret passion. They agree to a "no strings" arrangement to satisfy their physical urges, keeping their romance buried beneath the weight of their sports rivalry.
But while Henry remains firmly detached, Corner finds himself falling for the man behind the captain’s jersey. As the emotional divide widens, Corner attempts to walk away, only to discover that Henry’s "no strings" policy wasn't a lack of feeling—it was a cage. Now, Corner must navigate the dangerous fallout of a man who refuses to love him, but is willing to destroy anyone else who tries.
