Take It Like A General
(2025)(The fourth book in the Hot Jocks series)
A novel by C Jordan Hayes and Eve Noon
They said it was just one weekend. They said it would never happen again. They lied…
Twenty years ago, Alexander Holt and Victor Han were more than just teammates. More than just best friends. They were everything to each other—until one unforgettable weekend blurred the lines between love and duty. Two days of reckless passion. Two days of raw, unguarded truth. And then… two decades of silence.
Now, Alex is back at Riverside University, not as a player, but as the high-profile head coach at the center of a media frenzy. But with the spotlight comes danger. Anonymous threats. A growing obsession. A stalker who’s watching his every move. His team isn’t taking chances. They hire the best.
Enter Victor Han—ex-teammate, ex-best friend, the man Alex never stopped wanting. Retired Marine Corps General, now the owner of an elite security firm, Victor’s only job is to keep Alex safe. But from the moment he walks back into Alex’s life, protection isn’t the only thing on his mind.
The heat between them is instant. Undeniable. Unfinished.
As the threats escalate, so does the tension between them. Old wounds. Unspoken words. Unresolved desire. But this time, there’s no walking away. Because Victor isn’t just protecting a client. He’s protecting the man who was always his.
🔥🔥 The past may be complicated, but what they have now? That’s simple. It’s heat, it’s hunger, and it’s long overdue. Hold on tight for this best friends to lovers, second-chance steamy hot romance that proves some things only get better with age. 🔥🔥
