"This fast-paced Ivy League romance satisfies with memorable characters and a dash of spice." --- BookLife by Publishers Weekly Laith Brinley, #5 of the Harvard men's lacrosse team, is a swift and stealthy player, quiet and unassuming on and off the field. One would never know behind his silent stoicism that he is Boston royalty, coming from old money and generations of influential politicians, including a father in Congress and older siblings groomed to follow suit. One would also never glean he harbors a shocking secret that must never leave the walls of the Brinley compound. Laith seemingly has it all as he carefully downplays his heritage and shiploads of family money and influence, trying to blend into the background behind a wall of quiet fortitude as he's been carefully trained to do all his aristocratic life. He is a man of few words until the inquisitive, unrelenting journalist Brooke Summers sets out to interview every member on the lacrosse team for the college newspaper. The more Laith evades and escapes, the more curious and intrigued Brooke becomes... and the harder she chases after him and his secrets. Laith always steps up for his family and teammates on the Crimson Crew, quiet and steadfast, like a rock. But even the hardest and most polished of stone can crack under too much pressure. As Laith bears the weight and utter lie of perfection in silence, he must eventually choose once and for all: legacy or liberation?
