A rivalry pulled back onto the field

Tommy Mathison and Rowan Hughes share a history of childhood bullying, a present-day misunderstanding involving Tommy’s girlfriend, and a campus soccer team with championship ambitions. The story moves between their perspectives as Tommy weighs the chance to play alongside Rowan against his anger, while Rowan tries to bring him back to the sport—and manage an attraction he says he cannot explain. Soccer gives their uneasy connection a shared arena, while the description also flags identity, mental health, grief, and coping with past trauma as significant themes. The book is presented as a high-spice romance and is intended for readers aged 18 and up.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adult readers interested in LGBTQ+ gay romance with a sports setting.
  • Readers who enjoy romances built around rivals, unresolved history, and a return to team play.
  • Readers seeking romance that addresses identity, mental health, grief, and past trauma.

Book overview

Tommy

 

I should hate Rowan Hughes. He was a bully when we were kids, and now I find out he's messed around with my girlfriend. But how can I hate the campus soccer star when he's everything I've always wanted to be?

 

With my reputation on the line, I can't let Rowan get away with humiliating me in front of people I know-people we both go to school with.

 

When he swears he didn't know Annalese was my girlfriend, I actually believe him. When he says I'm good enough to play beside him, I want to believe that too. But when he insists he's not gay, all I want is to prove him wrong.

 

Rowan

 

I made one dumb decision at a party, and now Tommy Mathison thinks I'm into his girl. He couldn't be more wrong, but it's not because I'm gay. It's because I'm weak. Now I've got a beefed-up babyface's knuckle prints bruising the side of my face, and I can't get him out of my head.

 

Tommy isn't weak, and he may just be the missing piece my team needs to win a championship before I go pro. I don't know why he quit soccer after high school, but getting him back on the field is easy. Keeping him close without losing control? That's the real challenge.

 

SWEAT is a high-spice hurt/comfort sports romance that deals with heavy themes related to identity, mental health, grief, and coping with past trauma. This book is intended for readers age 18 and up.
