About this book

Asher Henderson. Captain of the Highnam Academy football team, and the bane of my existence. As Alstone High's team captain, I've been pitted against him from the beginning, but our conflict isn't only reserved for the pitch. Everyone knows we're enemies. From our first encounter, our rivalry has been escalating, spiralling out of control. Until one night when everything between us changed. He pushed me too far, and we crossed a line that should never have been crossed. Now, I can't get him out of my head. Can we ever be more than rivals, or are there too many obstacles in our way? One thing I know for sure. Things between us will never be the same again. Savage Rivals is a standalone M/M new adult high school romance with enemies to lovers and bi awakening themes. This book contains mature situations and content. *Originally included in the Brutal Boys on Devils Night collection. This edition of Savage Rivals has been expanded with additional content.
