"We spend every waking hour creating extraordinary bodies. With so much physical ability at our disposal, it's often intensely hard to control ourselves off the track." Jerome Kremers #11, Wests Football Club TEAM MATES is told through the iridescent blue eyes of Jerome Kremers as he tries to bring his physical prowess and emotional intelligence into equilibrium. Everyone brands him superbly masculine and blissfully pretty, yet he's simply not considered a great footballer. But then, having been forged by the world of high-performance sport, the Dutch-born, Australian-made Kremers unexpectedly graduates to being a formidable team leader. Bang. He skips great and goes from good to legendary. He bulks up, smartens up, and mans up. The inspiration for change comes not from his coach or teammates, but from the captivating surf life saving champion Chelsea Leigh, who has an innate knack for unnerving the intense performer. Now, everyone seems to want a piece of the superbly built leader, except the sensual woman who inspired him in the first place. Even as Jerome's sporting career takes flight, the erotic pull of his equally fit sparring partner steals the focus. Come and grow with four tight-knit male footballers as they work tirelessly to stick to the rules on the field while making and breaking their unique game plan off of it. The Australian Team Series is a collection of edgy romance novels by real sportsperson Sally Carbon. She knows these sportspeople have a public life, a private life, and a secret life, and that without fail, they'll jump in the trenches to back each other up. C'mon-join the Australian Team.
