In Last Play: A Sports Romance

Camden Shaw's farewell game ends under stadium lights and thunderous applause-then the noise cuts out, and the silence terrifies him. Jordan Miles has kept his body together for years as his physical therapist, keeping her own feelings locked behind professionalism and restraint. Until the final whistle turns "after" into now. In the shadowed tunnel, Camden asks for permission instead of taking. Jordan says yes-carefully. No fantasy. No promises they can't keep. Just one night of chosen tenderness, heat, and truth. Then the twist lands: Jordan leaves tomorrow for a career-defining fellowship across the country. Camden doesn't beg. He asks what she wants-and honors her answer. A goodbye becomes a note. A note becomes a vow of steadiness. And six months later, he shows up... ready to build something real.
