Guarded Goalie by G T Dipe

Desire is never practical.

ROLAND

Control is everything to me. On the pitch. In my life. In my marriage – until it wasn’t.
I’m separated, heading to the World Cup, and apparently sharing a room with Austin Coker. My ex-wife’s best friend. My teammate. The one person I can’t stop watching no matter how hard I try.
I know exactly what touching him would cost me.
I do it anyway.

AUSTIN

I’ve wanted Roland Johnson since before I was good enough to deserve him.
Now I’m his teammate, his roommate, and completely out of excuses. His marriage is over. The line between us keeps moving. And every time he looks at me like I’m the only thing in the room, I care a little less about what we stand to lose.
My career. His reputation. Her friendship.
Worth it. All of it.

Guarded Goalie is a standalone steamy MM sports romance featuring forced proximity, queer awakening, the intoxicating feeling of wanting what they were never supposed to touch, and a secret relationship that could end both their careers.
