In these two full-length M/M novels, friendship turns to love in the high-testosterone world of college sports. With the media circling and pro football contracts hanging in the balance, can these couples keep their personal lives private?

Up and Coming An unexpected love could cost him his dreams.

Emmett Cross doesn't have time to date. A college quarterback on a path to turning pro, he can't afford distractions, especially with the academic challenges he faces. When he's blindsided by a growing attraction to his friend Jake, he fights it-rumors that he's bisexual could wreck his draft prospects. But he can't stop thinking about the cute blond with the warm heart and gentle smile.

Biochem major Jake Schott has had a straight-boy crush on Emmett since freshman year. Emmett's cool logic is the perfect complement to Jake's sensitive nature. He's sure nothing can come of his longing-until a scorching kiss turns desire into hope. Although the tall, sexy athlete with the trim waist and thick biceps denies that there's a chance for them, his lustful looks and stolen touches tell a different story. Passion ignites between them, but Emmett insists on hiding the relationship.

When their secret is threatened, will Emmett give up Jake to protect his career? Or will he risk it all for love?

Coming Attraction When teammates become lovers, sometimes coming out isn't an option.

Fun-loving Waseem likes his freedom. The wide receiver for the Coastal College Pirates has never stayed with one guy for long. So why can't he put football teammate Brent out of his mind? Brent is straight-he's been dating the same girl for years. Waseem knows that the sexy blond with the chiseled pecs and rakish smile can't be more than a fantasy.

Business major Brent has always played by the rules. But his vision of the future is shattered when his girlfriend dumps him without warning. Even more confusing, he's developing feelings for Waseem unlike anything he's ever known. Brent isn't gay. So why do his friend's dark, smoldering eyes and infectious laugh stir this strange, new desire in him? It's an attraction Brent can't deny-and a fire quickly blazes between them.

But Brent's conservative family will never accept his orientation. When the truth comes out, Brent's world is thrown into chaos. Will he give in to the pressure to forget Waseem? Or will he give up everything to be with the man he loves?

These steamy friends-to-lovers, straight-to-bi M/M romance novels are for a mature audience. They each have a happy ending and no cliffhanger
