Escape Velocity

Gravity isn't the only force pulling them together. Mason Fanning solves physics equations in his sleep—but figuring out Callum Brown might be the hardest problem of all. Mason didn’t come to Montgomery University to chase a byline. He came to learn quarks, formulas, and dreams of becoming a physicist. But with two award-winning writers for parents breathing down his neck, he reluctantly joins The Goldberg, Montgomery’s paper to get them off his back. His first assignment? Cover the Montgomery’s football team. Worse? The star quarterback is Callum Brown—his childhood best friend who cut him off years ago without an explanation. Callum Brown wins games. That’s all anyone expects from him—and all he allows himself to want. Callum lives and breathes football. It’s his ticket out, his identity, his everything. He’s done the work, gotten the scholarship to Montgomery, but it still never feels like it’s enough. As he tries to get drafted, seeing Mason again brings back memories he’s tried hard to forget—and feelings he never really dealt with. The boy he pushed away is now a man with a sharp tongue and a habit of showing up when Callum least expects it. As fate keeps throwing them together, unresolved history rises to the surface. If they want to move forward—on or off the field—Mason and Callum will have to face the truth about what tore them apart and what’s still pulling them back together. Escape Velocity is a spice-free, heartfelt, slow-burn MM college football romance about two former best friends learning to rebuild trust, defy family expectations, and find the courage to love each other again.
