Lightning Rugby Box Set

Drew Hunt

Synopsis

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.

The Cabin

What he doesn't plan on is making a new friend of the canid kind. A wolf-dog he names Lycus that he thinks is either a stray or a runaway. Lycus comes and goes as the spirit moves, showing up when Jamie needs his company and then vanishing again.


Jamie also didn't plan on the three humans who come into his life. One is Glen, who says he lives in the area and often hunts in the mountain forests. The other two claim to be game wardens searching for a feral wolf -- whose description matches Lycus. Jamie doubts it's the truth, knowing how tame Lycus seems to be.


Despite the fact that he's never seen Lycus, Glen offers to help prove the men are lying. Will they be able to save Lycus from being captured while bonding in a way that might, if Jamie's ready, become more than just friendship?
