There's a thin line between loathing and lust. Turns out it's about the width of a hotel bed.
+Alex+
Soccer is supposed to be Alex's escape, the ticket to his future. With his dad’s trial looming, his mom’s medical bills piling up, his shot at a professional career in jeopardy, and the university's bursar on his case? Alex needs to keep his head in the game and win this scholarship to have any chance of staying on the team.
He can't afford to be distracted. Especially not by Mr. Superstar Team Captain, Green Shakes and Yoga Breaks, Two Girlfriends At a Time, Hetero Poster Boy of the Year; Ian 'The Weaver' freakin' Weber.
He's everything Alex’s dad ever wanted in a son.
He's everything Alex is not.
When they're forced to share a hotel room together for two full weeks, Alex knows it'll be pure torture. He's right, of course - but for all the wrong reasons.
Turns out, Ian's not the man Alex thought he was. Confident, experienced, and sexy as all hell; Ian shouldn't be interested in a geek like Alex.
Now if only someone would tell Ian that…

+Ian+
The room was like any other in thousands of hotels around the world, Ian supposed. Small bathroom crammed in by the entry; big window on the far side featuring a majestic view of the parking garage and dumpsters. A TV on the wall, a small table, a few chairs.
And, oh yeah — just the one big double bed sitting pride of place in the middle that they were… What? Expected to share?
For two whole weeks, Coach had said. With Alex.
Any of the other guys on the university's soccer team would have been, y'know, fine. Filling in as temporary Team Captain, Ian's learning a lot — mostly that's a whole different world here to how he was raised, back on the commune.
But the team's newest recruit is turning out to be a huge problem. A grade-A jerk, Alex seems to have a grudge against Ian in particular.
And thanks to a prank gone wrong? Now he knows Ian's little secret. The one that could ruin Ian's professional career before it even got started.
Yeah — that one.
Forget two weeks. It'll be a miracle if they both survive the first night…
