Book Blurb:
Captain is not a title Alejandro “Alex” Cantu takes lightly.
Elected by his teammates to helm the US Men’s Swim Team, he proudly accepts the
role, despite juggling endless training, team administrative work, and helping
out on the family farm. And despite his ex-lover, Dane Ellis—swimming’s biggest
star—also making the Olympic Team.
Dane has been a pawn in his celebrity parents’ empire from
crib to pool, flashing his camera-ready smile on demand and staying deeply in
the closet. Only once did he drop the act—the summer he fell in love with Alex.
Ten years later, Dane longs to cut his parents’ strings, drop his too-bright
smile, and beg Alex for another chance.
Alex, though, isn’t ready to forgive and forget, and Dane is
a distraction he doesn’t need on his team, until an injury forces Alex to
accept Dane as his medley relay anchor. Working together, their passion
reignites. When Dane’s parents threaten reprisal and Alex is accused of doping,
the two must risk everything to prove Alex’s innocence, to love one another,
and to win back their spots on the team, together.
Teaser Excerpt:
Dane’s
gaze shot to Alex’s reflection in the mirror, and he dropped the razor. He was
sure it clattered against the sink, but he couldn’t hear it for the blood
whooshing in his ears. Blood that beelined south as his gaze made a similar
journey down Alex’s body. The mesh top showed off his broad chest better than
Dane had imagined, and those ratty jeans fit just shy of decent. It wasn’t like
he hadn’t seen Alex shirtless and in jammers daily, but that was Alex the
swimmer.
Unreachable.
A safe distance away.
This
was Alex the man. Standing five feet behind him.
Looking
like everything Dane had ever wanted.
His
gaze swept back up and met Alex’s in the mirror. He held the heated stare until
it burned, then cast his eyes aside with a muttered “Fuck.”
