    Summary

    Charlie surprises Nick at one of his rugby matches during his first semester at Leeds

    ———

    When the game finally ends (with a Leeds victory!), I select one of the best photos I took of him today, then with shaking hands, I type out two sentences.

    You look fit as fuck in that jersey. Wanna make out?

    I hit send, then wait. I’m literally trembling from head to toe, beaming like an idiot.

    I watch him and his teammates happily chatting and patting each other on the back. They make their way over to the sideline where they slowly start grabbing their phones and water bottles.

    I watch Nick like a hawk, almost vibrating out of my skin at this point. I think I might actually die of anticipation.

    He grabs his phone and water bottle, taking a long swig and then making some comment to the guy on his left, who laughs and claps him on the back. He smiles, then grabs his phone and starts walking toward the changing rooms, in the opposite direction from where I’m sitting. SERIOUSLY, Nick?! Without even looking at it?! I start to worry that he’s truly not even going to check it when I see him stop dead in his tracks.

    Summary

    Nick Nelson is twenty-six and a rising semi-professional rugby player in London, admired for both his skill and his looks. But when a devastating injury pulls him off the field and into a hospital bed for months of recovery, Nick is forced to confront a world that suddenly feels very small and frighteningly quiet.

    Assigned as his primary nurse, Charlie Spring is calm, kind, and quietly observant. A young man more comfortable in hospital corridors than stadium crowds. Determined to stay professional, Charlie focuses on helping Nick heal, even as small moments of laughter, vulnerability, and shared silence begin to blur the lines between patient and caregiver.

    As Nick struggles with pressure from his distant father, the loss of his identity as an athlete, and the unexpected pull toward someone he was never supposed to fall for, Charlie must balance duty with feelings he isn’t sure he’s allowed to have.

    A slow-burn romance about healing, patience, and finding connection in the most unexpected place.
