Book synopsis

Carlos

My final season of high school football should be the greatest time of my life, but instead, it feels like the weight of the world is sitting on my shoulders. Money is tight, my mom is struggling, and the whole school expects me to lead our team to victory in the biggest rivalry matchup of the year. A scholarship may be my only shot at a future beyond this town, but after a prank war between the football team and cheer squad goes too far, the administration forces us to play nice. Now I'm stuck with Adam, a frustrating male cheerleader who keeps challenging me, pushing my buttons, and getting under my skin. I need to keep my head in the game because my future depends on it-but the more I tell myself to stay away from Adam, the harder it is to remember why I should.

Adam

Heartbreak sucks, and I'm not interested in giving anyone the chance to do it twice. So I focus on cheer, lean on my friends, and start planning for a future that is actually mine-not the frat-boy legacy my dad and uncle expect me to follow. Plotting against the football team is just a bonus, until our prank war goes too far and the administration forces us to work together. Now I'm stuck sparring with Carlos, the infuriating quarterback, team captain, and my stepsister's complicated almost-something. He is supposed to be the last person I let get under my skin, especially when every conversation between us turns into a challenge neither of us is willing to lose. But the more Carlos sees the parts of me I usually keep hidden, the harder it is to pretend this is only about chemistry. Have I finally learned to choose myself, or am I setting myself up for heartbreak all over again?

****

Offside is a steamy MM sports romance featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, bi-awakening, and a football-versus-cheer rivalry that heats up on and off the field. It is intended for adult readers.
