On the rugby field Wayne Joslin might be tough and rough, but in the romance department he’s a pussy cat. He can’t keep his attention away from his close friend Darsey Haas, the center for the Templeton Thundercats. Darsey’s a dreamboat, and the guy of Joslin’s dreams. Someone he wants to spend the rest of his life with. The two must be together.<br><br>After five months of friendship, Joslin and Darsey steer out of the friend zone. There’s one problem, though. A huge problem. Darsey has a boyfriend, Cliff McGregory.<br><br>Cliff despises everything about Joslin and will do just about anything to keep him away from Darsey. Joslin’s in love with Darsey, though, head over heels, and believes they’re meant to be together. So he hatches a plan to distract Cliff with a certain rugby player named Tomas Iron. Will the plan work?

We Are Going to Be Together

I’m hard. Rock hard. I whisper to the empty room and the falling snow and wind outside the Colonial, “Damn, why do I like him so much?”


As always, I don’t have to be at the stadium to start my evening shift until four in the afternoon. Darsey should have my Jeep returned to me by then. In the meantime, I have things to do: clean the house, do some laundry, knock out a few chapters in the newest Ruth Ware—love her madness!—mystery, and get a nap in before work. Plus, I’d like to watch the highlights of the weekend rugby game between the Cradle Colts and the Baxter Hole Bears. Online chatter suggests that Nelson Baye of the Colts plastered one of the Bears in the face with an elbow and broke a jaw. Who doesn’t want to view and relish that mishap?
