Caught in the Current
(2026)(The second book in the Varsity Heat Crew series)
A novel by Dylan Joseph
They thought deleting the video would solve everything. They were wrong.
The video was supposed to be gone.
Instead, it’s leverage.
When a video of their illegal, unsanctioned rivalry race falls into the hands of a blackmailer, Liam and Alex have one mission: make the evidence disappear before it destroys their futures.
One break-in.
One reckless night.
One choice that changes everything.
Because forced proximity in the dark has a way of stripping away denial.
For Alex, control has always been survival—perfect son, perfect grades, perfect future. But Liam makes him reckless. Makes him honest in ways he’s never allowed himself to be.
For Liam, wanting Alex was supposed to be a mistake. A phase. A lapse in judgment.
It isn’t.
As the pressure tightens—from blackmail, from family expectations, from the impossible chemistry neither of them can kill—they’re forced to decide what matters more:
Protecting their futures.
Or protecting each other.
And this time, losing might mean more than a race.
Perfect for fans of obsessive rivals-to-lovers MM romance where enemies become everything, Caught in the Current delivers intense sports romance, devastating emotional turns, and chemistry that burns.
⭐⭐��⭐⭐ "The closet scene is EVERYTHING."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I binged this in one sitting—couldn't stop."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Alex and Liam are impossible to quit."
This is Book 2 in the Varsity Heat Crew Series: a bingeable MM college sports romance series following one couple across multiple books—high-stakes rivalry, slow-burn obsession, explosive chemistry, and emotional payoffs that keep readers turning pages.
Each book in the series delivers a complete emotional arc while pulling you irresistibly into the next chapter of their story.
This new adult contemporary romance is intentionally written to be fast, immersive, and bingeable—a prestige-style college sports drama designed for readers who crave deep connection, escalating stakes, and a couple worth following to the end.
