Fast Break (MM Sports Romance Miami Basketball Teammates to Lovers Book 1)

Jaxson Cole has spent three seasons fake-flirting with Mateo Reyes, the Surge's composed Vice Captain. What began as a deliberate campaign of trash talk and exaggerated banter designed to provoke Mateo never seemed to work—until a team dinner during an early-season slump changes everything. Mateo flirts back, and the dynamic shifts. What follows is a series of encounters that blur the line between performance and reality. Neither man will acknowledge that the flirting has become genuine. Jaxson, the team's chaotic point guard, has never been one to voice something real first. Mateo, who has understood what is happening for at least a year, waits for Jaxson to catch up. With the team struggling and the locker room unable to handle a serious conversation, they continue their pattern of banter and physical connection while calling it a joke—even as it becomes increasingly obvious it is not. Fast Break is an M/M sports romance about two teammates who use humor as a defense mechanism, their observant found family of teammates, and the moment when the performance ends and genuine feeling emerges. Each book in the series can be read as a standalone.
