Steven Cox, former player and Brockton’s handsome assistant manager, has to find out what’s blocking Udo. Keen to prove to the world that he could manage his own club, Steven throws himself into the mission.

Spending time together, Udo and Steven ignite a passion but acting on it could end both their careers. The world of soccer can be an unforgiving place.
With the stakes so high, what will happen if Udo and Steven give in to their feelings?

Udo hopped off the rock and instantly cried out.
“What’s the matter?”
“Something stabbed me.”
“Here, let me.” Udo sat on the rock and held his leg up. Steven took hold of it and examined one of the most expensive feet in Lancashire. A thorn stuck out of Udo’s big toe. “Javier will kill me if that gets embedded,” he muttered.
Swiftly, Steven pulled it out.
“There,” he said. “All’s well again.”
He still held Udo’s foot as he stared up at him. What a view. Thick strong legs, a six-pack that any member of a boy band would kill for and the bulge in those pink undies.
Reluctantly, he laid Udo’s foot on the ground and stood. Any more of this and his own boxer shorts would have the impossible mission of hiding his arousal.
Udo stood.
“Thank you. Is there nothing that the assistant coach won’t do for us?”
“Not much.”
Once again, they stood close to each other.

“Something like that.”
Udo’s head blocked the sun so Steven saw directly into his eyes.
Suddenly, all the self-control that Steven prided himself on appeared to have disappeared. He cleared the distance between them and kissed Udo.
