Down By Contact by Quinn Ward

Nothing could derail his season like being forced to spend time with the only man he’d allowed close enough to hurt him…
Zach couldn’t step out of the closet if he wanted to play professional football. Griffin refused to stay locked in the dark. As much as it hurt, Zach knew Griffin had done the best thing for both of them when he walked away.
Now Zach will do anything to prove his rookie season wasn’t a fluke. The last thing he wants is to be part of a reality TV show. He doesn’t need the distraction of cameras tailing him through training camp but he’s determined to be a team player.
Distraction becomes an understatement when the camera man assigned to him is none other than his ex. For the next six weeks, the two of them will spend nearly every waking minute together.
Working on Outside the Pocket wasn’t where Griffin imagined his career heading but he knows he needs to put in the time before landing the jobs he’s dreamed of. Little does he realize his new boss is counting on a heavy dose of sexual tension and unresolved pain to keep the series alive.
Will Griffin be able to convince Zach the chemistry between them is real and not a ratings ploy?

Down by Contact is the first book in the Wilmington Breakers series, previously available under the pen name Sloan Johnson.
