Synopsis
Shawn and Alex
have been friends since first grade.
Alex, the rock
star quarterback, appears to be basking in the limelight of his success and his
new romance with Pam. But appearances can be deceiving.
Shawn is the key
man in the football team’s solid defense. He’s also the senior class’ most
eligible bachelor. But Shawn has no time to get involved with a girl—at least,
that’s what he tells his friends.
In reality, he
does have a love interest… Tony Valito.
Side-by-side, the
relationships between the two couples blossom. One in the open. The
other in secret. That is, until Shawn’s world erupts when the rumor that he’s
gay gathers momentum.
In trying to find
Shawn, perhaps his friends will end up finding themselves. And everyone will
discover how dangerous are the lives of high school athletes.
Finding
Shawn is the first book in the Dangerous Lives of High School Athletes series.

Excerpt
"Okay. Okay. I give up. I give up."
Alex rolled off.
"See? I’m still the champ. I own you."
"Yeah,
you’re the champ all right."
They huffed and
puffed and rested side by side.
Alex’s mind
started to drift. He whined. "Oh, man."
"What now,
Alex?"
"Just
wondering." He stared up toward the clouds. "Where will we be next year?"
Shawn sensed the
abrupt mood change. He wanted to undo it. "Next year? Hell, I’m not even
sure where I’ll be an hour from now. And who cares?"
"I’m
serious, Shawn. This is all going to change. You. Me. Pam. We’re all going to
go our separate ways. College is going to change everything. If I go to
college. I wish I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I
can’t…."
"What, no
sixty-million-dollar contract to play for the Buffalo Bills?"
"Yeah,
right." Alex’s mood commenced free fall. "I don’t even know if my
knee will make it through the rest of this season."
Shawn hadn’t
planned on a pity party. Not today. He needed to turn this around. "Alex.
You’re bringing me down. Look, it’ll all work out all right. You’ll see. But right
now, I’m hungry and Pam is waiting for us. And speaking of Pam." He rolled
onto his side and brought his face dangerously close to his best bud. If they
had been any closer, they would have kissed.
Tony’s mouth
dropped open. His jealous heart skipped a beat.
Shawn hadn’t
planned on bringing this up today, but as long as they were on the subject….
"So, Alex. When are you going to ask Pam out?"
