Beyond The Line (Advantage)

Some love stories begin with a spark. Theirs began with trust.

Oliver "Oz" Shah and James Harrington have spent years side by side at the highest level of professional rugby-training together, fighting for the same goals, and relying on each other in ways that feel essential and unspoken. What they have is solid. Proven. Safe.

Until it isn't.

When the truth finally surfaces, James steps down as captain to protect the team he loves. Oz responds by choosing James-publicly and without apology-even when it means setting his own future on fire.

The fallout is immediate. The scrutiny relentless. But in the wreckage of reputation and expectation, something more fragile begins to take shape: a life they might be allowed to choose for themselves.

Beyond the Line is a slow-burn, emotionally rich M/M romance set against the unforgiving machinery of elite sport-where love is both risk and refuge, and the bravest act isn't winning, but staying.
