The Captain’s Physio: A Forbidden MM Gay Age Gap Football Romance (Forbidden Sidelines #1)
Maya Collins
He was supposed to fix my shoulder… not steal my heart.
Ethan Walker has one goal—lead Ridgewood University to a championship and secure his future in professional football. As the team’s fearless twenty-one-year-old captain, he’s used to pushing through pain and pressure.
Until one brutal tackle changes everything.
With his career hanging by a thread, Ethan is sent to the team’s new physiotherapist—Dr. Adrian Cole. At forty-two, Adrian is experienced, disciplined, and dangerously off-limits. His job is simple: fix Ethan’s injury and get him back on the field.
What he didn’t expect… was Ethan.
Late-night rehab sessions turn into quiet conversations. Professional boundaries blur. And the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the spark growing between them.
But Adrian knows the rules.
He’s the team’s doctor.
Ethan is a student athlete under his care.
And their twenty-one-year age gap makes their connection even more forbidden.
Giving in to their feelings could cost Adrian his career—and Ethan his future.
Yet when the championship game approaches and emotions run high, both men must decide what matters more:
The rules they’ve followed their entire lives…
Or the love neither of them can deny.
