Love is a risk... but a risk worth taking.
JAKE
I knew following my best friend across state lines would change my life… I just wasn’t prepared for how much.
CJ Reyes is not what I expect when I show up for a blind date—and neither is our chemistry. The fire with him is unlike anything I’ve ever felt before, both in and out of the bedroom. His fun attitude and sexy sapphire eyes are breaking through the walls around my heart, and for the first time in my life, I’m not running away. But with desire comes fear. Are the dangers of my career worth the risk of falling in love, or should I leave now to spare everyone the pain?
REYES
After being cut from the Mexico soccer team, I accept a temporary coaching position in South Carolina, hoping it would give me a break. The reprieve doesn't come easy, though, when my family begins pestering me about my future. I wish I had answers, but all I seem to find are more questions… especially when it comes to the smooth talking police officer who keeps showing up in my bed. Our fiery nights and growing friendship are just what I need to move on. Maybe there are things worth more than winning a world championship.
But when an opportunity arises that could change my life forever, I discover Jake might not be all in. He doesn’t want the same things I do, and that terrifies me even more than being cut from the team.
Then I meet Jake, whose humor and understanding feel like my only way out of the darkness. Our fiery nights and growing friendship make my loss feel a little less devastating and my future less bleak. But when I'm forced to make a decision that could change my life forever, will Jake see reason? Or will I end up losing something far more valuable than the world championship?

About the Author

I am an Idaho native who grew up dreaming about traveling the world and writing stories. I would often spend my spare time curled up with my favorite blanket and a notebook, writing another fairy tale. I never would have guessed those fairy tales would one day grow into gay romances, but that is where my heart led me and I am so glad it did. I write about love because I believe it can happen to anyone, with anyone. I also believe dreams never expire, redemption is possible, and true forgiveness can heal us in ways we never expect. I know firsthand how messy life can get, but as any artist will tell you, a little mess is needed to create something beautiful. That’s why I write, to help others see that anything can be beautiful. You can often find me with a mug of coffee in one hand and a dog toy in the other. There is never a day that goes by without my sweet boy insisting on a game - or twenty - of fetch.
