Mat Pressure

Bryce Walker has spent his life believing control is the difference between winning and losing. Colton Hayes is the one opponent who has always made him forget the rules. After years as wrestling rivals, Bryce and Colton land at competing Division II colleges, where every match pulls them back into each other's orbit. Late-night messages and parking-lot confrontations soon become secret kisses, stolen hotel-room hours, and a relationship neither man can safely contain.
But Bryce is battling a damaged knee, his father's impossible expectations, and a fear of being seen that threatens to cost him more than any defeat. Colton has injuries and scholarship pressure of his own-and he refuses to remain someone Bryce chooses only in private. As rumors spread and the regional championship brings them face-to-face again, Bryce must decide whether protecting the life he built is worth losing the man who finally sees all of him.
