Beyond The Line (The Advantage Series Book 3)

Oliver “Oz” Shah and James Harrington have built their entire lives on the battle-hardened foundation of professional rugby. As teammates, they have shared years of sweat, sacrifice, and an unspoken, rock-solid trust that defined their success on the field. But in the ultra-competitive arena of elite sports, the line between professional brotherhood and something deeper is razor-thin—and they have finally crossed it. What begins as an inextricable bond slowly morphs into an undeniable, quiet love that threatens to upend everything they have worked for. When the truth breaks, James makes the ultimate sacrifice to protect the team, stepping down as captain. In response, Oz makes a choice of his own, risking his reputation and his future to stand unapologetically by James’s side. As they navigate the relentless scrutiny of the public eye, their relationship faces the wreckage of shattered expectations. Beyond the Line is an intimate, slow-burn exploration of devotion that proves the greatest risk isn’t on the pitch, but in being honest with the person who holds your heart. It is the story of two men deciding that while their legacy may be tied to the game, their true life is the one they finally choose to build together.
