Getting a tutor was supposed to be about passing my class. Instead, it became the one thing I wasn’t prepared for.Tex (Travis) Football is my future. The draft. Everything I’ve worked for. Walking into my tutor’s apartment, I don’t expect Colton Reed—quiet, brilliant, and tempting in a way that hits me hard. He’s not my normal type. He’s not supposed to be an option. He’s my tutor. But he looks at me like I matter, like I’m more than a jersey and a body built for the line. Every study session blurs into something closer. Heavier. Harder to walk away from. I’ve never been confused about who I want. But Colton makes me want things I can’t afford to lose. My career. His job. Both our hearts. And once I fall, I fall hard. Colton I like rules. Order. Lines that don’t get crossed. Tutoring Travis Rowlings should’ve been simple. Help him pass. Keep it professional. Don’t get attached. Except he’s warm and earnest and looks at me like I’m something worth choosing. And wanting him terrifies me, because I’ve never wanted a man like this before. I’m not out. My father wouldn’t understand. And falling for Travis could cost me everything I’ve built. But every secret kiss and stolen moment pulls me deeper. Pretending this doesn’t matter is becoming impossible. I’m falling for my student. And I can’t stop. Blindside Lesson is book 5 in the Desert Football series, featuring a golden-hearted offensive lineman, a guarded graduate-student tutor, bi awakening vibes, forbidden attraction, secret dating, emotional vulnerability, found family, and heat that builds until it breaks. Buy now and fall for the boys who never meant to cross the line—until love blindsides them both.

Christie Gordon started writing gay and MM romance books after finding Yaoi fanfiction by accident and falling in love with it. She’s always had stories in her head and always enjoyed writing, so she decided to try her hand at the genre and took up fiction writing classes at a local community college. She published her first MM romance book with eXtasy Books back in 2009. Christie follows her muses wherever they take her, writing a mixture of paranormal, historical and contemporary romances. She enjoys writing about men discovering themselves, overcoming obstacles and finding love in the process, along with a happy ending. Christie’s day job is in the high-tech industry with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and a Master’s in Business Administration. She currently lives in the Phoenix, Arizona metro area but has also lived in the Bay Area of California and grew up in Minnesota. If she isn’t writing, she’s watching boys love dramas or creating digital artwork. She’s also a mother of two young-adult sons, whose antics keep her on her toes. Her one-eyed rescue pug is always by her side, snoring the day away.
