Burning Boundaries

An Enemies-to-Lovers M/M Sports Romance Packed with Rivalry, Passion, and Heart

by Ryan Moore

When sharp-tongued sports journalist Zachary Monroe is assigned to cover rising soccer star Kian Reed, he expects an arrogant athlete with more ego than discipline. What he gets instead is a man whose talent is matched only by his temper — and whose presence sparks a tension neither of them can ignore.

From their first confrontation, the air between them crackles. Zach’s relentless questions clash with Kian’s guarded walls, turning every interview into a battle of wills. But beneath the heated rivalry lies an attraction that threatens to destroy their carefully drawn lines. The closer they get, the harder it becomes to tell where professional boundaries end and personal desires begin.

This slow-burn M/M romance delivers:

Enemies-to-lovers tension from verbal sparring to breath-stealing kisses
High-heat chemistry layered with vulnerability and raw emotion
Sports romance drama with a fast-paced, high-stakes setting
Dual point-of-view storytelling that puts you inside both hearts and minds
A journey from fierce rivalry to the possibility of lasting love

Burning Boundaries blends sharp banter, smoldering passion, and emotional depth into a romance that will keep you turning the pages until the final whistle.
