🖤 Morally grey MMC 🖤 Sports romance 🖤 Enemies to lovers 🖤 Opposites attract 🖤 Forbidden love 🖤 Romantic suspense I want the truth. He wants to ruin me. The Alabama Lions are hiding something, and I’m determined to expose the team—write the story that will burn their whole programme down. They know I’m watching. So they sent him. Dustin Slater. Star wide receiver. Killer body. Filthy mouth. His job was simple—warn me off, wear me down, keep me too distracted to dig any deeper. Instead, he pins me with that wicked smile, gets too close, and makes every warning sound like a dare. Because Dustin doesn’t just touch me. He wrecks me. Every kiss feels like a confession. Every look feels like a threat. And every night with him drags me deeper into the one place I should never be—his bed. But I’m still chasing the truth. A missing girl. A name wiped from every record. Men desperate to keep their secrets buried. I should walk away from Dustin. I should walk away from all of it. But I’ve never known when to quit. And now I want him almost as much as I want the truth. This angsty, morally grey, sports romance is perfect for fans of Meagan Brandy, Chloe Walsh, Parker S. Huntington, Rosa Lucas, L.J Shen, Rebecca Jenshak, Nikki Lawson, Becka Mack. This series must be read in order to get the full impact!
