““So you thought you could push me, teach me a lesson, huh?”
“No. No. I want . . .” Sebastian took a step closer, and Beau’s breath clogged in his throat. He told himself firmly that he would not reach out and press a palm to Sebastian’s bare chest.
“What I want,” Beau started over, “is for this to be mutually beneficial for both of us. You want to keep playing. We want you to keep playing.”
Sebastian’s lip curled. “Oh, you’re two regular do-gooders.”

Sebastian Howard is the best damn cornerback in the NFL.
Or at least he was.
Age and injuries have taken a toll, and while most people have written him off, Sebastian isn’t ready to acknowledge that at only thirty-two, he’s already in the twilight of his career.
He signs with the Miami Piranhas intending to prove everyone wrong.
Only to realize that the head coach’s son, out-and-proud Beau Dawson, doesn’t believe he can.
Beau is infuriating but brilliant, and when he offers to help him on the field, Sebastian wants to say yes, but there’s one thing stopping him: the unexpected, inconvenient, and all-consuming crush he doesn’t want to have on Beau.
But Beau isn’t interested in playing it safe, with football or with anything else, and soon they’re embroiled in a hot—and secret—affair that would finish Sebastian’s career if Coach Dawson found out.
As Sebastian falls harder for Beau, he begins to realize that actually the worst thing in the world isn’t getting benched, but losing the man he loves.
