Breaking Formation: A Gay MM College Football Romance (Holding the Line #2)
Maya Collins
Eli Mercer has spent his entire life doing one thing perfectly:
control.
Control the huddle.
Control the pressure.
Control the parts of himself that could cost him everything—his future, his career, his place in the game.
Noah Reyes doesn’t believe in half-lives anymore.
As a wide receiver fighting for visibility both on and off the field, Noah knows what it means to be someone’s secret. He refuses to disappear again—no matter how tempting the connection, no matter how dangerous the stakes.
When their chemistry ignites, it’s impossible to ignore.
On the field, they’re unstoppable.
Off the field, every glance feels loaded.
Every touch carries consequences.
As rumors stir, scouts circle, and the pressure to conform tightens, Eli must face the one fear he’s never trained for—being seen. Truly seen. Not as a quarterback. Not as a leader. But as a man who wants something that can’t be controlled.
And Noah must decide whether love is worth the risk… or if walking away is the only way to survive.
Breaking Formation is a high-tension, slow-burn MM romance about choosing honesty over safety, love over fear, and learning that freedom doesn’t come from winning—it comes from standing in the open.
