Binding 13 (Boys of Tommen, #1) by Chloe Walsh

A love that heals. A bond that protects. A story that stays with you long after the last page.

Johnny Kavanagh is the golden boy of Irish rugby—talented, admired, and destined for greatness. On the field, he’s unstoppable. Off the field, he’s kind, loyal, and fiercely protective of the people he cares about.

Shannon Lynch is quiet, guarded, and carrying more pain than anyone can see. Transferring to a new school is supposed to be a fresh start—but escaping her past isn’t as easy as she hoped. Trust doesn’t come naturally to her, and letting people in feels impossible.

When Johnny and Shannon’s worlds collide, an unexpected connection begins to form—one built on patience, understanding, and quiet strength. As he slowly breaks through her walls, she finds comfort in a place she never thought she’d feel safe.

But some scars run deep…
and loving someone means facing the darkness together.

Binding 13 is an emotional sports romance about love, healing, and resilience.
