Buzzer Beater (MM Sports Romance Miami Basketball Teammates to Lovers #3)
Finn Archer
Julian Navarro has a charming with the press, warm with fans, the guy who smooths every locker room conflict with a well-timed smile. Three seasons of being exactly what everyone needs, always. He is very good at it. He has also, privately, lost track of what he actually feels when no one is watching.
Damon Reeves arrives via trade deadline with two suspensions, a file of incident reports, and the raw energy of a man who has been told his entire career that his emotions are a liability. Julian is assigned to keep the new guy in line.
The they have history. College rivals. Three years of genuinely nasty on-court antagonism that was partly competitive and partly something neither of them named at twenty-one. Damon's energy was always the thing Julian found most difficult to counter — not because it was better, but because it matched his in a way nothing else ever did.
A six-game West Coast road trip strips the performances bare. Damon, without the hothead act, is softer and angrier and more thoughtful than Julian expected. Julian, without the diplomat routine, is not what Damon expected either — sharper, sadder, more real. And Damon is the first person in Julian's life who looks straight through the charm and waits for what is actually behind it.
With the Surge pushing for the Championship Finals, they have to keep playing their public brands, or risk the most honest thing either of them has ever had.
Buzzer Beater is a sizzling M/M sports romance with enemies to lovers fire, forced proximity heat, and two men who have to decide whether winning matters more than being real.
