Summary

They say lightning never strikes in the same place twice. In this boxset, it strikes six times at the same amateur rugby league club in the heart of northern England.
Read about men falling for other men with muscles, brawn, and a desire to tackle the opposition to score not just tries and goals, but hearts, too. We see connections forged on the pitch, on the sidelines, in the dressing room as well as in the workplace. 
Contains the stories: 

Danny's Dad: It's simple. Gary Levinson is in love with his best friend's dad. Neil "Raw" Rawlings doesn't think it's simple at all. Gary is too young and he could do better than an aging sportsman close to retirement. Finally giving in to Gary's pleas, Neil agrees to sleep with Gary on his 18th birthday.

My Sister's Boyfriend: When Cory Hawkins breaks his foot playing Rugby, he shows up at Mike Johnson's front door on crutches. Cory is dating Mike's sister, but she's away, so Mike offers to look after Cory. Later, after Cory and Emma break up, Cory wants to date Mike instead. Mike fears being hurt when Cory comes to his senses. Is love blind to gender or will Mike regret his sister ever bringing home her boyfriend?

For Pete's Weight: It's Man of the Year Award night at Bear's weight loss group. But as he's the only man who stays to group, it isn't much of a contest. Knowing he needs to make a change, a reluctant Pete joins a slimming group. Pete's lost and hopeless demeanour speaks to something within Bear. When it's Man of the Year Award time again, will the group have a choice of who to vote for?

Mr. July: Sam Crawford shoots a dozen amateur rugby league players for a nude calendar. Lee Dolby, aka Mr. July, is the sexiest one of the bunch. When Sam's assistant calls in sick, Lee offers his help in photographing a wedding. Lee shows he has a talent behind the camera as well as in front of it. Will things between the two men develop or be over in a flash?

Bobby and the Beast: When blind physiotherapist Bobby Simpson's passenger assistance doesn't meet his train, Builder Phil "Beasty" Beeston comes to his rescue. Phil believes he's ugly, but Bobby "sees" past this to the hot man beneath. Can Phil and Bobby's relationship continue to grow, or will it all come crashing down when Phil's ugly past is revealed?

Hayden's Lucky Number: Hayden Marsh watches his dad's best friend, Kenny Jacobs, play rugby every Sunday. Kenny is everything Hayden desires in a lover. Hayden's parents don't like the idea of their son dating an older man. Kenny has his own reservations, too. With so much stacked against him, will Hayden be lucky enough to win the heart of his number 13, or will he be shown the red card and be forced to admit defeat?

Snowed in with Elvis: A night spent in a country hotel is just the thing to lift Stuart "Mouse" Little's mood. The fact there's a performance by an Elvis impersonator is icing on the cake. Garrett "Spider" Webb sings, moves, looks, even talks like Elvis. Snow strands everyone in the hotel for the weekend. Will it be a case of Heartbreak Hotel for Mouse and Spider or will they find they Can't Help Falling in Love?

    This Werewolf alpha has found his destined mate … in the very last person he'd expect. 
    At thirty-five, Grayson Nox is the business manager for his werewolf pack. He's good at his job. Too bad he's not as successful at finding his destined mate. He'll know her by a distinctive birth mark, but he's getting tired of searching. 
    But the night Grayson finally sees his mark, it's not on a woman. It's on a gorgeous guy who wrecked his car near pack headquarters. Grayson brings the beguiling stranger home to heal … and to try and make sense of this strange twist of fate. 
    Medical student Reagan Forster has studied for ten years at University in Melbourne. At last he's ready to sit his final exams and head out into the world to heal people. But when he foolishly tries to drive home after a thirty-six-hour hospital shift, Reagan passes out behind the wheel. 
    He wakes in an unknown world, tucked away in the mountains of Greensborough, with the hottest guy he's ever met at his bedside. Their mating starts a fire hotter than either werewolf or man has ever known. 
    But they must make their relationship work against the backdrop of conflict, as Regan struggles to find his place in this new world, and the pack battles the Rogue werewolves who are a constant threat.

The two of them comfort each other and then make a deal—one night of anonymity and passion as they lose themselves in each other.

    Chased by the past that he can never escape from and drowning in depression, addiction, and anxiety, Nikos Ridge finds himself seeking comfort in a cute British boy. All is fun and games until his demons return. Lies become tangled, and secrets blur his reality. Nikos is forced to face the past if he wants a future—but the universe has other plans. Ones that could ruin his life.
