SIDELINE SECRETS | SELWYN COBBO

Mila Bennett knows exactly where the line is.

As a Fox League reporter, her job is to ask the questions, get the story and keep everything professional.

Then she interviews Selwyn Cobbo.

One-word answers. Smart remarks. A smile that tells her he knows exactly how irritating he is.

What should have been another routine post-match interview becomes something neither of them expected.

Because suddenly Selwyn is finding reasons to linger after interviews.

Mila is noticing when he walks into a room.

Teammates are noticing the looks they swear aren't happening.

And somewhere between sideline interviews, late-night messages, away games and nights out neither of them should be sharing, the line between reporter and player starts becoming dangerously blurred.

Mila knows getting involved with a player she covers could jeopardise everything she's worked for.

Selwyn knows she has every reason to keep him at a distance.

The problem?

Neither of them seems particularly good at staying away.

And when stolen looks become stolen moments, jealousy starts creeping in and five minutes alone never feels like enough, keeping their relationship off the record might become the hardest story Mila has ever had to hide.

Same game. Different rules.
