The Star

Tight end Landry Banks knows the score when he signs with the Charleston Condors in a rebuilding year.

New owner. New coach. New players. New rules.

But one rule hasn't changed: Don't hook up with your best friend's little brother.

Rookie quarterback Riley Flynn knows what it takes to make it in the NFL. He's in Charleston to prove himself-to the world and to his teammates, but mostly to his older brother, who's never believed he could be a star.

The last thing he expects is for his brother's best friend Landry to welcome him with open arms and an offer to become roommates.

Riley's always believed Landry was straight-but the way Landry keeps checking him out leaves him suddenly unsure. And Landry's hot looks certainly don't help squash the crush he's always had on his brother's best friend.

Revisiting his teenage crush isn't part of the plan. But as he and Landry fall into a rhythm of thrilling plays on the field and sizzling tension off it, there's no denying their connection.

Riley isn't willing to trade becoming the next big NFL superstar for love. But with a man like Landry Banks waiting to catch anything he throws at him, maybe he can have both.
