Downing Dominic: A Football Heartthrobs Prequel
Paperback – November 4, 2025
by Cliff J. Cavender

Is it really so bad to get back with your ex — if he happens to play professional football?

When medical researcher Aaron Watkins checks into a hotel for a leukemia conference, he expects to focus on funding his work, not his ex. But fate (and a booking mix-up) lands him in the same room — and the same bed — with Dominic Johnson, the college sweetheart who broke his heart years ago.

Aaron’s driven by science and sorrow, still haunted by his sister’s death and his promise to find a cure. Dominic, a star NFO player with more swagger than sense, is determined to fund a cause that makes him look good — and maybe win back the man he never stopped wanting.

What begins as awkward rekindling soon turns into late-night confessions, slow-burn attraction, and a steamy reunion neither man can resist. But old wounds and new desires collide as they’re forced to decide: can second chances survive real-world tackles?

Equal parts sports romance, hurt-comfort, and one-bed chaos, Downing Dominic is a sexy, emotional prequel that sets the stage for Cliff J. Cavender’s Football Heartthrobs series — where every touchdown could be a love story.
