Lucas Byrne has built his life on control.

Captain of his country’s rugby team. Relentless on the pitch. Disciplined off it. He knows how to carry pressure, how to lead men into collision, how to keep every want neatly folded away where it can’t cost him everything he’s worked for.

Elijah Kaine is a problem.

Too talented. Too open. Too easy with laughter and touch and the kind of attention Byrne has spent years convincing himself he doesn’t need. Kaine plays like he has nothing to lose—and looks at Byrne like he already knows the truth he refuses to name.

They’re supposed to be teammates.
They’re definitely not supposed to want each other.

What starts as friction turns into something sharper. Something electric. Glances held too long. Hands brushing in cramped spaces. Nights where the line between discipline and desire wears dangerously thin. Byrne knows the risks—his career, his reputation, the world that expects him to be one thing and one thing only.

But Kaine isn’t asking for promises.
He’s asking for honesty.
And for Byrne, that might be the most dangerous thing of all.

Set against the brutal intensity of professional rugby, this is an emotionally charged MM sports romance about truth, restraint, and the terrifying freedom of wanting more—on the pitch, and in the dark, when no one else is watching.

Sometimes the hardest opponent isn’t across the line.

It’s the future you’re finally brave enough to imagine. (18+ Heat Level)
