But after an unexpected kiss, Liam quickly learns which team Austin is playing for. ‘Almost the One’, the second book, and emotional prequel, in the ‘Finding the One’ trilogy follows Liam and Austin’s heartfelt romance; from an irresistible first connection to the challenges of long-distance love, marriage, and unraveling trust.
