Praised by the Cornerback (Off-Limits #3)

Getting stuck training with my biggest rival should've been the worst part of my offseason. Enjoying his praise? That's a whole different problem.
Adrian Vega spent an entire season talking trash in my ear, and he still gets under my skin.
Now we're sharing a training facility, pushing each other through brutal workouts and impossible drills.
The problem?
The more he notices me, the more I look forward to it.
I've never wanted another man's attention.
But between the competition, the compliments, and the way Adrian looks at me like he sees what nobody else ever has, beating my rival stops being the only thing on my mind.
Turns out falling for him might be the toughest play of my career.
