Playing It Safe

Donovan Bane loves playing rugby for the Sydney Smoke. And if that means he has to keep his sexuality a secret, that's a sacrifice he's prepared to make-for now. He'd rather be known for his footy skills than being the first actively pro rugby player in Australia to officially come out. And that means no dating, no relationships, no sex. Nothing but playing ball. Until Beckett Stanton changes everything. Beck is out and proud-and not looking for a guy who isn't. Been there, done that, total disaster. He certainly can't afford to compromise his new job for the Sydney Smoke just because he's locked eyes with Donovan Bane. Big, gruff, and athletic isn't usually Beck's type, but for some reason this man is ticking every box. Maybe he's the one to show Donovan everything he's been missing... For the first time, Donovan isn't playing by the rules. With Beck, he's indulging in things he knows he can't have. But when their relationship gets serious, Donovan faces a showdown between the career he loves and the man he's falling for. How can he possibly have both when losing is not an option?
