Glasgow Lads: Books 1 - 3. Glasgow Lads

Three novels plus an essential short story!They're out. They're proud. They're a wee bit daft. Meet the Warriors, an all-LGBTQ football/soccer team from Glasgow, Scotland, as they seek and find love, one lad at a time. Book 1: Playing for KeepsFergus Taylor is damaged goods. Reeling from a brutal breakup, he's determined to captain his LGBT soccer team out of scandal and into a winning season. For that, he needs strict rules and careful plans.
He does NOT need a brash, muscle-bound lad messing with his head and setting his body afire. John Burns has a rule of his own: Don't get attached. Boyfriends are for guys with nothing to hide. Nobody-not his university mates, not the men he beds-knows his family's shame, a shame that stains all Scotland. Now his double life is starting to unravel, thanks to a certain Highlander whose storm-riddled eyes turn John inside out, who wears a kilt like he was born in it.
Fergus is the first man John wants to share his secret with-but he's the last man who could handle it. John knows the truth would shatter Fergus's still-fragile heart. But how can he live a lie when he's falling in love?Book 2: Playing to WinColin MacDuff has nothing. Growing up in a Glasgow slum, he learned never to trust, never to cry-and never EVER to be at the mercy of anyone, especially rich men.
So how did he end up half-naked at a rave with Scotland's hottest young aristocrat?Lord Andrew Sunderland has everything. From ancestral castle to posh prep school, he's spent his life wrapping others around his wee finger. With a social circle full of celebrities and politicians, nothing can stop Andrew's rise to the top. Nothing, that is, save his desire for a dirt-poor, wolf-eyed footballer whose scars and tattoos tell unbearable tales.
Colin and Andrew come from different worlds, believe in different worlds, want different worlds. Yet every time they touch, all worlds fall away. Set amid the fiery Scottish-independence struggle, this searing gay romance tells the story of two men who must lose everything to win each other's hearts. Book 2.5: Play It SafeAfter living together for three months, Fergus Taylor and John Burns have come to love each other's quirks, and the bond between them is starting to look permanent.
But when John wants to take things to the next level, Fergus balks, haunted by the betrayals in his own past. John knows if he's not careful, he could lose Fergus. If only he weren't so bad at being careful. To overcome his fears, Fergus must embark on an epic journey, a journey that will test his faith, his trust, and his ability to keep a cool head in a hot, hot place.
