February is a month many people focus on love. But sometimes two people have to face seemingly insurmountable obstacles and there's no guarantee having a connection can be enough. I really enjoyed this story, so I decided to feature J Vaughn's short story for this month's Can't Stop Reading Book Club.

Length: 19,210

Description: Paul is a college football player and deeply in the closet until he stumbles upon a rape victim who needs his help. Kyle is out and proud but dealing with the aftermath of a brutal attack. They are both strongly attracted to each other but will a relationship be able to flourish in spite of the obstacles? Paul will have to come to terms with his sexuality and Kyle will have to get over his fear and depression, but together they might be strong enough to help each other heal.

A Reader Said: What a beautiful and heartwarming story. ~ Joann414

This month's CSR Discussion day will be Monday, February 23! So take the next three weeks, read it (it's only 19k, though you'll wish it was longer!) and come prepared to chat about your thoughts on the story. Happy Reading!!
