He’s the one man I can’t have. And the only one who can calm the storm inside me.
Kian Ellis
I’m the Chicago Wards’ star point guard, but inside, I’m drowning. The pressure, the noise, the panic attacks—it’s all becoming too much. I need control. I need quiet.
Then Coach Marcus steps in.
He’s older, stern, and strictly off-limits. But when he finds me spiraling in the locker room, he doesn’t bench me. He takes charge. He teaches me how to breathe. How to surrender.
Whatever happens in the dark, stays in the dark. That’s the deal. But the way he looks at me during practice—like he owns me—is making it impossible to keep my head in the game.
Marcus
I’ve spent twenty years building my reputation. Sleeping with my star player is the fastest way to torch it. Kian is young, reckless, and dangerous to my career.
But he’s also hurting. And I’m the only one who knows what he craves.
I can give him the discipline he needs. I can regulate his chaos. But if the front office finds out, we lose everything.
BALL CONTROL is a high-heat, age-gap MM sports romance featuring a stern coach, a bratty player, and a unique take on nervous system regulation. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a hard-won Happy Ever After.
