Johnny Kavanagh

Johnny Kavanagh is the star rugby player at Tommen College and captain of the school team. He's being scouted for the Irish national team at just sixteen. Beneath his intimidating size and athletic fame, he's surprisingly gentle and emotionally perceptive. He's drawn to Shannon Lynch from the moment she literally crashes into him, and becomes fiercely protective of her. He struggles with a serious groin injury that threatens his career, pressure from his father, and the overwhelming need to shield Shannon from her abusive home life. He's loyal, intense, and falls hard.
