Rugby captain Kellan Sayer can survive a tackle, a suspension, and even the press. But he has no defense against the man hired to control the story.
After punching a sponsor’s son for making a racist joke at a charity gala, rugby captain Kellan Sayer becomes the New York Ironclads’ most expensive PR disaster. The team hires Arden Vale — thirty-eight, immaculate suits, lethal media strategy, one directive: keep the captain quiet.
Arden has rebuilt politicians, actors, and athletes after worse. He can teach Kellan how to apologize without surrendering his principles, how to smile at the press, how to stop looking like he wants to flatten every reporter in the room.
What Arden cannot teach him is how to stop staring at the man whose voice makes him want to do everything he’s told.
Kellan has spent thirty-two years being the dependable straight captain. Arden has spent years cleaning up other people’s disasters while hiding how badly he wants someone to take care of him for once.
When the scandal uncovers something worse — buried concussion reports, corrupt ownership, and a team willing to sacrifice its players — they’ll have to choose between the safe story and the true one.
The team wants no comment. Kellan wants full contact.

Chapter One: Full Contact
The suit didn’t fit.
Not in any way that mattered to anyone except me, but I could feel it — the collar a half inch too tight, the shoulders pulling when I lifted my arm past ninety degrees, the fabric across my thighs straining every time I shifted weight.
