Rule One: No Drama!
Fergus Taylor is damaged goods. Reeling from a brutal breakup, he's determined to captain his LGBT soccer team out of scandal and into a winning season. For that, he needs strict rules and careful plans. He does NOT need a brash, muscle-bound lad messing with his head and setting his body afire.
John Burns has a rule of his own: Don't get attached. Boyfriends are for guys with nothing to hide. Nobody-not his university mates, not the men he beds-knows his family's shame, a shame that stains all Scotland. Now his double life is starting to unravel, thanks to a certain Highlander whose storm-riddled eyes turn John inside out, who wears a kilt like he was born in it.
Fergus is the first man John wants to share his secret with-but he's the last man who could handle it. John knows the truth would shatter Fergus's still-fragile heart. But how can he live a lie when he's falling in love?
