Between the Yard Lines: An Enemies-to-Lovers Gay MM College Football Romance (Holding the Line #4)
Maya Collins
Two captains. One field. And a line neither of them meant to cross.
Jackson Hayes is used to being in control—on the field, in the locker room, and in his life. As the golden-boy captain of his college football team, he knows how to lead, how to win, and how to keep his emotions locked down.
Then Oliver Reed transfers in.
British. Brilliant. Infuriatingly confident. A former captain in his own right—and everything Jackson never asked for.
From the first clash, rivalry sparks. On the field, in the classroom, everywhere their paths cross. But when a brutal game turns violent and Oliver steps in to protect Jackson—taking a hit meant for him—everything changes.
Suddenly, the line between enemy and ally blurs.
Between jealousy and desire.
Between denial and truth.
As media pressure mounts, friendships fracture, and the team is forced to reckon with its silence, Jackson must face what scares him most—not losing control, but choosing honesty.
Because this time, love isn’t about intensity.
It’s about standing your ground.
Holding the line.
And choosing openly—together.
