Publisher Description
<p>Xander Karcek has only wanted two things in his life: Christian Edwards and basketball—the man he loves and the game that let him escape a childhood he'd rather forget. His two obsessions have served him well. He and Chris beat the odds and stayed together through high school, college, and right on to the NBA.</p>
<p>But life under fame's microscope isn't easy, especially when two men are pretending to be frat-buddies so the world doesn't know they're the next best thing to married. Their relationship survives the sacrifices they make and the lies they tell to stay together, but when their secret is exposed, the fallout might destroy them when nothing else could.</p>
<p>Chris and basketball are the two things holding Xander together. Now the world is asking Xander to make a choice. Is there an option that includes a future with the man he loves?</p>

Hide Until You Can’t
Such an intense love story about two young boys who grow up together, love each other, hide their love and play basketball together until one of them is sent away to play for another team in another State.
It’s hard having to hide who they are, knowing that if the truth comes out it could spell the end of their careers.
I felt their highs and lows and their joy and pain. The love they have for each other is strong and beautiful and real. And that is what sustains them through the hard times.
I loved their story.
I would imagine that their are many sportsmen and women who feel they have to hide like Xander and Christian. This is absurd and sad. I would hope that in the near future, owners, coaches, fellow players and fans would be accepting. If they’re good at their sport, isn’t that the main issue?
