The Skins series is Garrett Leigh’s sports romance offering, setting MM love stories against the backdrop of professional athletics. The five books deal with the particular pressures of being queer in competitive sports — public scrutiny, team dynamics, and the tension between personal life and professional expectations.

Published primarily in 2018, with a follow-up in 2022, the series uses the sports setting to heighten the stakes of Leigh’s character-driven romances. The physical intensity of athletic competition mirrors the emotional intensity of the relationships.
