Book One in the International Men of Sports series.
A handsome Bollywood actor must choose between his
career and a rugged cricket player from his past, who
he's fallen in love with...again. Rajan Malik has the
world of Bollywood in the palm of his hand...a beautiful
girlfriend, starring roles, adoring fans...He should be
happy, but behind the façade lies a man conflicted and
exhausted by the pressure placed on him by his ill
mother, his agent and society. His life is not his own,
and all he wants to do is escape. Indian Premier League
cricketer Ajay Singh can't believe how bad his
university roommate Rajan looks when he spots his
picture in the paper. They had parted on bad terms.
Still, he's moved to offer Rajan his support by renewing
their friendship. But friendship was not all they shared
back then. Though Ajay is out, Rajan isn't willing to
give up his carefully cultivated Bollywood image to be
with him publicly. And with very little privacy, it
won't take long for someone to find out they are more
than friends. Their renewed secret affair is fraught
with difficulties as they deal with the death of Rajan's
mother, the secret of Rajan's till-now absent father, a
jealous friend, intrusive social media, and threatening
notes from someone who seems to know all about their
private lives. It's a bit of a sticky wicket they find
themselves in. Will it be too late when both men finally
realise that they'll need to compromise, or stand to
lose everything?
