The Captain. The Jock. The Cowboy.

Nathaniel ‘Nate’ Conroy

Six years ago, I fell in love with my best friend and roommate. I was content knowing I could never have him because he was straight. At least, I thought he was straight, until he came out seemingly out of nowhere. Six years of devotion gave me the courage to shoot my shot, only for him to tell me he was in love with someone else. Now, I’m temporarily homeless, heartbroken, and struggling to organize the chaos with my anxiety running rampant at the loss of the one man who could keep me sane. I need to replace him in every aspect of my life, but this time I have to keep a clear line between friendship and attraction.

Captain and Quarterback of the NFL Miami Pirates: In Search Of a roommate and a ‘rebound’ fuck buddy, definitely not the same person.

Perfect.

Dillon McCay

I don’t do complicated. I quit medical school (thus becoming the black sheep in my family of doctors) to play professional football for the Miami Pirates, and I live life simple: eat, sleep, football, video games. Some pro athletes splurge on giant houses, but I’m content with my simple two-bedroom apartment, just me, my television, my gaming consoles . . . and my team captain? Of course, the rookie gets stuck with the weirdo who covers my apartment in sticky notes, writes out our schedules word for word and day by day to the minute, and dictates all the food cooked and eaten. His previous roommate held his hand and cuddled the nighttime demons away, but now that task has fallen to me. FML.

Simple-minded Jock: In Search Of a simple how-to manual for navigating the neuro-spicy man who now sleeps in my bed, and his fuck buddy who crashes on my couch and is surprisingly good at video games.

Nothing complicated here.

Tucker Baird

Miami is a long way from Texas, and that’s a good thing. Since being traded to the Miami Pirates, I have had the freedom to live (mostly) out-and-proud without fear of my religious family back home finding out. I came out to my team at the end of last season, and it was a surprisingly painless experience. In fact, none of my teammates said anything about it. Not until training camp when the offensive line captain asks me to stay back in the locker room . . . and his demand is not at all what I am expecting.

Cowboy Living Living a Double Life: In Search Of a way to navigate a friends-with-benefits situation without catching feelings for him or his enigmatic roommate. Sincerely, the man who has never had a one-night stand and loves love.

Easy peasy.

Hat Trick is the second book in the ‘Playing the Field’ series and can be read as a standalone. It’s a steamy MMM Sports (American Football) Romance featuring a neuro-spicy sticky-note-loving anxiety-ridden captain, a half-closeted southern-grown bless-your-heart cowboy, and a complicated secretly-nerdy self-sabotaging jock. Content warnings include: mention of deceased parents, homophobic slurs (from assholes who get what they deserve), anxiety and panic attacks, brief mention of past alcohol abuse, strong language, and sexual content. Hat Trick contains no cheating and a guaranteed HEA.
