Icing the Kicker by Ajay Daniel
Lake I've worked my entire life to succeed in a sport I don't particularly enjoy. I've faced homophobic teammates, hostile locker rooms, and coaches who couldn't care less about me as a person, but nothing could have prepared me for this. It's my first year - my fresh start - with a Professional League football team and teammates who are blissfully unaware of my sexuality. I have a contract, money to keep my family afloat, and I'm only the backup kicker this season. Perfect, right? Wrong. Both the starting kicker and punter go out for injuries, and now I'm all the team has. Talk about a heavy weight on my shoulders. And to top it all off, the most popular guy on the team is . . . pursuing me? Everything he says seems to have a double meaning, and it sounds suspiciously as if he's propositioning me. Let off some steam, he says. One time couldn't hurt, could it? Okay, maybe two times. Or three. * Kane Football, family, and friends. What more could a man need? As one of the best tight ends in the Professional League, I'm living the life I've always dreamed of. I'm one to always go with the flow, and people don't tell me no. Women love me, my fans cheer for me, and my best friend is there whenever I need him. This is, until I meet our rookie kicker. He's strong, independent, and wants nothing to do with me - which is crazy because I'm such a cool guy! Trying to befriend him leads to a misunderstanding of intimate proportions, and suddenly, I'm not so sure my life is all that perfect the way it is. He needs help getting his feet under him within the league, and I need help navigating these new feelings I have after our confusing encounter. Maybe we can help each other . . . After all, a deal is a deal.

* An MM sports romance featuring rowdy football players and men who don't know they're looking for love. There will be stripping at Halloween, crying at Thanksgiving, witty defense mechanisms, a series of ridiculous misunderstandings, and spice not for the faint of heart. Guaranteed HEA and spin-off to come.
