Camden Crawford knows how to take a hit.

As the thirtysomething captain of the Exeter Seagulls, he's built a career on strength, silence, and shielding his emotions as ruthlessly as he does his teammates. But when an injury rocks his team-and a series of frustrating media storms threaten to unravel his legacy-Cam finds himself one mistake away from losing everything he's worked for. The last thing he needs is a distraction.

Enter Brent Parks: sunshine in tattooed skin, newly settled in Exeter, and a little too perceptive for Cam's comfort.

Brent came to England chasing purpose. What he didn't expect was a brooding rugby player with eyes like winter and walls like stone. But the chemistry? Immediate. Irresistible. And very, very mutual. Brent isn't afraid to get under Camden's skin-and he's definitely not afraid to stay there.

When a one-time tattoo consult turns into stolen kisses, slow mornings, and a summer of something that feels a lot like more, both men are forced to face the truth: Falling for each other wasn't in the game plan-and neither is what happens when the spotlight turns on their relationship.

With mounting pressure, cross-continental tours, and past insecurities clawing their way to the surface, Camden has to decide if love is a risk he's finally ready to take. And Brent? He's ready to prove that he's not just a distraction-he's the reason to stay.
