About this book
Quarterback Jake Harvey has always been golden. Straight. Focused. Destined for the pros.
When training camp forces him into a cramped dorm room with Derek Crosby—the cocky defensive end who nearly ended his season last year—Jake expects rivalry, not temptation.
But Derek is everywhere. Half-naked after showers. Pressing too close during drills. Whispering filthy challenges in the dark that make Jake’s body betray him in ways he never imagined.
One charged night, Jake stops fighting. What starts as confused, desperate exploration quickly turns into raw, addictive need. Derek doesn’t just want his body—he wants to own every denial, every moan, every surrender.
As stolen touches turn into nights of intense, filthy pleasure, their secret explodes into the open. With scouts watching, scholarships on the line, and the entire team knowing, Jake must decide if he’s willing to risk everything he’s worked for… for the man who wrecked his straight world.
First Down in the Dark is a scorching straight-to-gay sports romance packed with forced proximity, intense first times, and the raw thrill of giving in.
He came for the game. He stayed for the man who changed everything.
