Blindsided — T.A. Chase

A Men of Sports Story Love can hit you hard before you even see it coming…. When rugby player Liam transfers to Melbourne, he's blindsided by his attraction to the hottest lifeguard on the beach. Luckily Matty knows mouth-to-mouth…. Liam's left his friends and family―everything comforting and familiar―back in Canberra. He knows it all comes with the job, adjusting to a new city and a new team, but he's lonely. Maybe it's time to find something outside his career to fulfill him. Working as a lifeguard and being by the ocean is Matty's dream come true. The big, blond, blue-eyed hottie new to his beach catches his attention right away. When he runs into Liam again at the pub, he takes the shy league player under his wing and into his group of mates, and they become fast friends. But when they go from friends to lovers, the emotions that come with their deepening romance catch them both off guard. Can two men without any experience at relationships navigate their way to steady ground?
