Keeping 13

Johnny Kavanagh is a man adrift. For the first time in his life, he is living without the weight of his beloved number 13 jersey. Sidelined by a devastating injury, the rugby star feels the walls of his identity closing in, until he finds his anchor in the mysterious girl who now occupies every corner of his mind. But as his physical body heals, his spirit remains fractured, searching for a purpose beyond the pitch.

Shannon Lynch knows that monsters aren't just found in storybooks; they live in the shadows of real life. Following a traumatizing trip to Dublin, she is spiraling back into her old habits, attempting to become invisible to protect what matters most: her younger brothers. She is retreating further into the darkness, convinced that hiding is the only way to safeguard the few scraps of a future she has left.

Johnny is the only person with the power to pull Shannon out of the shadows, but their connection is being pushed to the breaking point. As buried secrets begin to surface, revelations with the power to alter their lives forever, the strength of their devotion is put to the flame. In a world determined to keep them apart, Johnny and Shannon must decide if their love is a sanctuary or just another casualty of the secrets they've tried so hard to keep.
