Follow the River by CE Ricci (Paperback)

A confident, driven athlete who refuses to back down from a challenge finds himself facing something far more complicated than competition. On the field and in life, he has always met obstacles head-on, determined to prove his strength and own every part of who he is, including his bisexuality.

Then Ciarain Grady storms into his world with hostility, sharp words, and a presence that feels impossible to ignore. Their connection is charged with tension from the start, balanced on a fragile line between hatred and desire. What begins as rivalry quickly becomes something far more consuming.

As circumstances force them into close proximity, the barriers between enemy and lover begin to blur. Beneath Ciarain’s guarded exterior lies vulnerability and pain, hinting at emotions neither of them are prepared to confront. Drawn together in ways that test loyalty, identity, and resilience, they must decide whether the intensity between them will destroy them or lead to something neither expected.
