Gymnast Frank Bethune arrives on campus already enamored with the star tight end, Bill Billingsly. Although the chances of them meeting are slim, fate draws them together, and their friendship turns to love.<br><br>Ever since childhood, Bill has dreamed of playing professional football. Though high risk to his potential career, Bill would seek out clandestine encounters with other guys when and where he could, but the first time he spots Frank, Bill knows he is someone special, someone he could possibly share a life with. If he’s drafted, will Bill and Frank be able to continue their closeted relationship, running the risk of discovery? Or will they have to part company for the sake of Bill living out his dream?<br><br>Bill knows he’ll need to use all his considerable skills learned on the field to score the life he wants off of it, too. Either way, is happiness even possible when it’s the NFL vs. love?

Love or the NFL

Frank turned to his roommate and frowned.


“Okay, I know.” Mark held up his hands as if in surrender. “You think the guy walks on water. But I say he’s just like all the rest—a dumb jock.”


“I know you don’t like him, but why do you say stuff like that? You don’t know him.”


“And you know so much about him? Let’s see, you’ve had one conversation with him about a weight lifting machine, and he calls you Frodo,” Mark retorted, stroking his chin in imitation of Bill in his interview.


Frank didn’t have a comeback for Mark. He just turned and headed for the serving line. Mark was right. Frank didn’t know a thing about Bill except that he was handsome, hot, and apparently, from what he’d witnessed the previous night at the gym, liked guys. That was probably the reason Bill was cruising the athletic locker rooms when he had one of his own reserved for the football team. The other thing Frank knew was that he’d give his right nut to be with Bill in that way.
