GUARDED GOALIE

DESIRE IS NEVER PRACTICAL...ROLANDControl has always been my strength. On the pitch, in my body, and in my life. My marriage was supposed to be the same, but now I’m separated and heading to the World Cup as an escape. What I don’t need is to share a room with Austin Coker. He’s younger, talented, infuriatingly confident, and for some reason, I can’t look away. He’s the last person I should be drawn to, especially since he’s my ex-wife’s best friend. But the closer we get, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between us, until one heated touch becomes another, destroying the restraint I’ve spent my whole life building.This was never supposed to happen.It definitely wasn’t supposed to cost me everything I’ve worked for.AUSTINI’ve been crushing on Roland Johnson for years. The guy I watched on TV and told myself I’d be like someday. Playing beside him in the big league is incredible, but sharing a room with him is pure torture since wanting him isn’t just a thought in my head anymore, not now that his marriage to my best friend is over. Being around him makes it impossible to act normal because the second he looks at me, all I can think about is making him mine. My career is just getting started, and my friendship is hanging by a thread, but part of me is reckless enough to risk it all to have him.Guarded Goalie is a standalone steamy MM sports romance featuring forced proximity, queer awakening, the intoxicating feeling of wanting what they were never supposed to touch, and a secret relationship that could end both their careers.
