01 - Playing Offside

Aiden: I’m known as the Ice King, but I didn’t become one of the best rugby players in the world by giving out free hugs. I got here by hard work and sacrifice, including denying a large part of myself. But that’s okay, there’s plenty of time to become the poster boy for gay rugby players after I retire.

Right now, I’m focusing on cementing my legacy and I’m not about to surrender my starting spot to the cocky loudmouth who just joined the training squad, no matter how talented the kid might be.

Tyler: I can’t believe I’ve made it into the New Zealand rugby team after my first professional rugby season. Now management has decided it’s a good idea for me to room with Aiden Jones, who’s been my jerk-off fantasy for years. And although Aiden is icy to me both on and off the field, I figure with a little charm, I can melt the Ice King.

But even I’m not prepared for how heated things become between us.

And now it appears I’m falling for the same guy whose starting spot I’m gunning for.

But all is fair in both love and sport, right?

02 - Playing at Home

Falling for your kids’ nanny? Never a good idea.

Jacob Browne comes from rugby royalty but no matter how hard he tries, he’ll never be the same heroic idol his father was on the rugby field. And now he’s failed off the field with the breakdown of his relationship to New Zealand’s favorite ‘It Girl’ Matilda Neilson. When Matilda hires a male nanny, it feels like the ultimate kick in the guts that another guy gets to spend more time with his kids than he does.

Austin’s freshly back from London and his new job looks great. Matilda is determined to be his new BFF and the kids are awesome, although he gets the feeling that his other boss, the glowering rugby player, isn’t that excited by him. But that’s okay, he’ll win him over. What he won’t do is crush on his gorgeous straight boss, because that’s the pathway to a whole lot of hurt, as he knows from the scorch marks still burned into his heart. Unfortunately, that resolution doesn’t allow for when he gets to know the real Jacob. From princess parties, Lego wars, nights spent talking about everything and anything, Austin’s falling for him hard. And when Jacob is revealed to be not as straight as previously assumed, all bets are off.

In sports, playing at home is supposed to be an advantage. But sometimes when things get too scorching, it can threaten to burn the whole house down.
