Description

Nate and Charlie are at the top of their game, but their biggest challenge has nothing to do with the pitch. As professional athletes living their lives under the constant pressure of public scrutiny, they are both tired of the superficial dating scene. When they independently sign up for an innovative matchmaking app, they expect a simple, discrete connection. Instead, they find a perfect match that threatens to change everything. The chemistry between them is immediate, sparking a connection that burns hotter than either expected. But as their digital rapport turns into a real-world entanglement, they must navigate the complexities of long-distance longing, career-defining seasons, and the fear of letting their guard down in a world that demands perfection. Balancing the intensity of elite sports with the vulnerability of a new relationship is no small feat, especially when their chemistry is as explosive as their talent. This special edition offers an intimate look at a romance that defies the odds and proves that sometimes the best plays are the ones you never see coming. It is a heartfelt, steamy journey about finding a teammate for life, perfect for anyone who loves high-stakes sports drama mixed with a tender, slow-burn love story.

Their meeting was very cute and funny as they realize each other is their dates, but make the best of it and become friends. Both of them are “straight” or thought they were, but they both really like hanging out with each other. Nate is a soccer player on the university team and Charlie loves soccer himself and wish he got to play as well but can’t as he has to focus on school and work to provide for his younger siblings. I haven’t read a soccer romance book before and found it very fun. I loved reading both of Charlie and Nate’s interactions and their “non dates” it was very…
