Expected 19 Nov 26When it comes to men, I have three simple rules.
No names.
No repeats.
No feelings—ever.
Professional rugby is my life. The fire in my blood. The beat of my heart. My future. My pride.
I play hard and hit harder. I dominate on the field and off. There’s no room for complications, least of all men. Then Eli Burgess walks into my life and my rules don’t just bend, they shatter.
Confident, intriguing, and out and proud in a way I can’t afford to be, Eli was never meant to be anything more than another nameless hookup. One spectacular night and done. If only I could just stop thinking about him. But Eli isn’t simply the first man to make me want more, he’s my team’s new physiotherapist, and he’s made it perfectly clear he won’t be anyone’s secret.
I need to keep my head in the game, to focus on my future. But every glance lingers too long. Every touch burns too hot. Every sensible choice is becoming harder to make. The game I’ve always loved is starting to slip through my fingers. I’m caught between the sport that owns me and the man who refuses to.
On the field, I know how to take a hit and keep moving.
Off the field? I’m about to discover the true cost of staying on my feet.
