Off the Pitch by Charlie Novak

Follow the men of London’s Greenwich Athletic Football Club as they navigate heartache on and off the pitch and find their happily ever afters.

This box set features all three original novels, plus four short stories, including the brand new short, Full Time.

Breakaway — Christian King’s life revolves around a single goal: to be the best. But his life is thrown into disarray when he runs into his former best friend and first love, David. As the pair are drawn back together, Christian is forced to confront his deepest insecurities, but maybe a second chance at true love is worth it.

Extra Time — Isolated and drifting, footballer Hugo Serin doesn’t know what comes next after a painful leg break puts him out of action. When a chance encounter brings him face to face with lonely, eccentric artist, Kit, the clouds might just be lifting. Now Hugo must convince Kit he’s worthy of love just the way he is.

Final Score — Jordan Green is too busy for a relationship, but that doesn’t stop him from fooling around with handsome playboy Félix. Neither of them want commitment, but their connection is too strong to resist. All they have to do is put their hearts on the line, but that will mean confronting their fears first.

This box set also includes the following four short stories:

Hat Trick — David plans a surprise to celebrate Christian’s match-day success.
Silverware — Kit and Hugo celebrate Valentine’s Day.
International Break — Jordan and Félix enjoy a well-deserved holiday together.
Full Time — A catch-up with everyone as they enjoy a memorable celebration eight years later.

Each Off the Pitch book can be read as a standalone and has a happily-ever-after ending, but you’ll enjoy them more as part of the whole series. This low-angst series promises sports stars, sweetness, and steam, and is approximately 257,000 words.
