Inspired by the global success of HBO’s Heated Rivalry, based on Rachel Reid’s 2019 gay sports romance novel, San Francisco-based adult entertainment company Falcon | NakedSword is launching an erotic fiction publishing house. It will operate three imprints: Falcon Books, NakedSword Books, and Raging Stallion Books. Hard Ball, a Falcon Books sports romance by Riley Parks, follows two rival baseball players who become lovers. Wild Game: Open Season, written by Parks and Ben Rush and published by NakedSword Books, serves as a prequel to the gay adult film Wild Game. Adult performer Derek Kage narrates Wild Game: Open Season, while porn star Eddie Burke narrates Hard Ball.
