As Jacob sits in his dorm room, glancing out of the window at the field-recruits who are doing their evening training he notices someone. A red head – he’s seen him before. He was over six foot, with short hair and broad shoulders & large muscles pushed up against the fabric of his thin, white t-shirt trying to break free. As a young man with a single ex-girlfriend in his past Jacob didn’t understand his pull towards the red-headed recruit but no matter how much he denied himself contact his craving only grew its appetite. One day, as Jacob is looking down at his tray full of food he crashes into someone. His milk slides across the floor, his peas and carrots scattered and roll around. He looks up to apologise only to notice the red-headed man stood before him. “Are you okay?” His smile was white, shining and perfect. Jacob’s heart had never thumped so hard in his life – nor had his crotch. What was going on? It’s a short-lived conversation. The man heads away leaving Jacob with wobbly knees and questioning himself. He wished he could’ve done more; could’ve said more. He looks down in disappointment only to realise that in the collision the red-head had left something. A diary.

Play Hard


J.T. Fox - 2016
    Read at your own risk.
Wanting him is the riskiest play of all...
Miami star quarterback Jordan Barr is the hottest man that halfback Eric "The Brick" Higgins has ever laid eyes on, and he's wanted him in his bed for years.
When a chance encounter puts the two pro football players in the same town, the same TV studio, and the same locked room, the sparks don't just fly, they burn. The chemistry between them is intense, immediate, and explosive and Eric isn't about to miss his chance to have Jordan off the field. He'll have Jordan naked in his bed--rumors of game fixing haunting both of their teams be damned.
Eric is one extraordinarily stunning man, and Jordan would love nothing more than to show Eric what it's like to be taken by someone who knows exactly what he wants, in the bedroom and out. But Jordan has bills to pay and far too many responsibilities to throw caution to the wind.
He has to resist. But it's getting hard....
Really, really hard.
