The broodiest goalkeeper in the Premier League meets his match in a radiant knitting influencer in this sexy grumpy/sunshine sports romance by best-selling author duo Kels & Denise Stone CAMERON HASTINGS I was running from the paparazzi when I crashed into a mystery girl with bright eyes and lavender hair. All it took was a smile from her, and I was a goner. We agreed to one night. No strings. No real names. So imagine my surprise when I discover she’s moving across the hall from me—in another country. But I don’t have time for distractions, especially after last season. It doesn’t matter that I’m the best of the best, the only American keeper in the Premier League. I need to prove myself to my new team. I need to give them everything so we have a shot at winning the championship. But I have a problem. It was supposed to be one night. But I want more. . . DAPHNE QUINN I blame it on my Yes Year: finally stepping out of my comfort zone, moving to London, and . . . Him. The man I spent that magical evening with. But this version of him, the guy who wears all black and a matching scowl, is nothing like the man I remember. I do my best to avoid him, instead focusing on creating a real-world safe space for my online knitting community and collecting as many experiences as I can during my stint abroad. But one neighborly run-in leads to another, and suddenly, I’m catching glimpses of him again. For the first time in my life, I feel confident enough to play by my own rules. To live my life on my own terms, bullies be damned. But how do I play to win when I’m facing down a man who protects his heart at all costs? Close Knit is the first book in The Hastings series, a collection of interconnected standalone sports romances about the Hastings siblings, scions of sports royalty.
