Under The Floodlights

By V K Alenko

Captain Nikos Alexiou has rules for everything.

On the rugby pitch, control is survival. Off it, control is reputation, discipline, distance. Athens Pankration is his team, his city, his life, and he's spent years making sure nothing threatens it.

Then Adrian Stokes arrives from Thessaloniki for the season.

The American inside center is quiet, intense, impossible to rattle, and far too good at understanding Nikos under pressure. What begins as dangerous chemistry on the field quickly becomes something harder to contain off it.

Because Adrian makes Athens feel different.

Closer. Hotter. Hungrier.

And for the first time in years, Nikos is no longer sure he wants control nearly as much as he wants more.

Set beneath the floodlights of modern Greek rugby, Under the Floodlights is a slow-burn MM romance about desire, masculinity, belonging, and the terrifying risk of letting yourself be truly seen.
