Since Pro basketball player Ty “Pretty Boy” Washington picked up a basketball, he’s only ever wanted one thing: to make it to the pro league and win championships. As the number one pick in the draft, he defies the odds in his rookie year by beating the record of one of the greatest players in the league, Sid “The Wonder Kid” King.
For years, Ty has looked forward to playing in the same league as Sid, the epitome of success. What he doesn’t expect is their intense chemistry or how Sid is the only person who can see that he’s barely hanging on.
At the top of his game, Sid is well on his way to becoming a legend. Voted the Sexiest Man Alive with a reputation as a ladies’ man, he seems to have it all. When he sees for the first time the undeniably talented rookie with soulful yet sad eyes, long-buried feelings surface.
Book 1 in the Chasing Rings series is a professional basketball MM romance with MCs on rival teams. High-heat and plot-heavy, it features a gay awakening, bi/demi, and diverse representation.
Tropes: MCs from rival teams to lovers, grief/trauma, hurt/comfort, hidden relationship, found family, and a hard-won HEA.
Kinks: somnophilia, intercrural sex, cockwarming, breath play, sexting, axillism, and edging.
“I’m about to tap my teammates to drop me back to the ground when I see in my peripheral vision something that can’t be — or rather someone who can’t be here. My gaze doubles back to the corner of the gym, where I lock on a tall figure standing by the door. I wipe sweat from my eyes. My head tilts to the side, unsure of what it’s seeing.
Lo-and-behold, there in all of his glory is one of the most talented basketball players on the planet, Sid “The Wonder Kid” King, and he’s staring right at me.
Holy f—ck!
Goosebumps cover my skin. When our gazes lock, he raises his eyebrows and smiles. I’ve seen that half-smile, half-smirk plastered on magazine covers, social media, and ESPN interviews. Though this might be the only case in history where an airbrushed magazine cover pales compared to the real person. I can’t look away.”
