Big Rucking Disaster: Rucked by You

I'm the hooker (no, not that kind) for the Vancouver Orcas rugby squad, and my teammates are like family. They're nosy like family too, worrying about me, even though I pretend I'm doing fine. But off the pitch, I'm stuck in a bad relationship, struggling to get along with Carly. I hope that volunteering for a local high school might make me feel I'm doing some good in the world. And the kids are great, but it's Coach Yardley Morrison who feels like someone who might change my life. One look into his dark-brown eyes, and suddenly I'm wondering if I can make different, better choices.

Yardley

I'm convinced Johnnie Leclerc will just swoop in, sign autographs, get the kids excited, and then abandon them. Like my bastard ex-husband. So I play it smart and keep my distance from the sexy, but straight-remember he's straight, Yardley-rugby star. But as weeks go by, the more he keeps his promises to the kids, staying patient and kind with them, the more attractive I find him. I know better than to hit on a guy like that, of course. Except every now and then, our gazes meet, and I don't think I'm imagining the heat I see.

Big Rucking Disaster is a 29k word opposites attract, age-gap, bi-awakening, interracial gay sports novella with a by-the-book coach and the hell-raising hooker who wants to change his ways.
