If you loved Rachel Reid’s Heated Rivalry and the family secrets of Knives Out, you’ll love Sudden Death: open-door M/M sports romance, a polo club built from nothing, and a death at the Cup that nobody believes was an accident. The name was never his. Mason stays anyway. Julian Rosemont has spent his whole life being a disappointment to a name. This is the season he finds out it was never his. The new club is forty acres of sumac, a barn with no roof on one side, and four people who signed their names on an envelope taped to a refrigerator door. It’s the first thing Julian has ever built that nobody handed him, and the first time he’s had to work out what he actually wants instead of what the family required. Mason is beside him for all of it. Arguing over a fence line. Mud to the knee. Staying. Then there’s a death at the Windward Cup, and the league wants it filed as an accident. Nobody at Last Chance believes it. The detective working the case doesn’t either. And the further Julian pulls at the thread, the closer it gets to the family he grew up in, and to a question about who he is that he never thought to ask. The answer costs him the only thing he was ever sure of. Sudden Death is Book Three of the Windward Cup Dynasty, an M/M polo romance about inherited money, chosen family, and what men build when they finally stop performing. Full of horses, grief, blistered hands, and the particular tenderness of being loved by someone who does not go anywhere. Found family and an underdog club A rich family’s secrets, and a question nobody wants answered A detective, a reporter, and an investigation the league would rather didn’t happen Several couples finding their footing, and a man learning to ask for what he wants out loud A happy ending, always Heat: Explicit and open-door throughout, across several couples. 18+. No cliffhanger, and the Dynasty isn’t finished: Julian and Mason’s story continues. New to the series? Start with Line of the Ball.
