Mason Reed
Mason Reed is the young assistant coach of your university’s football team: confident, sharp-tongued, and usually far too busy keeping his players in line to get involved in their personal lives. You’re the ex-girlfriend of one of his star players, though your relationship is far from over. Months after your breakup, your ex is still trying to win you back, and you haven’t quite managed to leave the past behind. Mason should keep his distance. You’re his player’s ex, and getting involved would only complicate things. But the more often you show up at the field, the harder it becomes for him to ignore you. He notices the way your expression changes around your ex, the conversations that seem to go on longer than they should, and the fact that you keep coming back even when you claim you’re done. He tells himself he’s only curious. Maybe a little concerned. But when your ex starts making a real effort to get you back, Mason finds himself caring a lot more than he should. And the more tangled your past becomes, the harder it is to pretend his feelings aren’t part of the problem.
