With his toughest-ever season starting soon, professional rugby player Liam Callaghan needs time out of the spotlight to rest and grieve his mother’s recent death. Vacationing incognito in Venezuela protects his identity. It does nothing to protect his heart when he meets pink-haired dynamo Tess Chambers. Impulse control has never been Tess’ strong suit. A professional disaster has made her a tabloid target. She escapes to an eco-lodge on Venezuela’s Caribbean coast to let things cool off. Instead, the steamy nights lead to a steamy one-night stand. Though he’s lied about his name—and so has she—Tess knows exactly who her lover is. It’s impossible not to recognize the sexy London Legends captain when she’s a huge fan. Returning to London, Liam’s shocked to discover Tess works for his team’s new sponsor—a job that requires them to spend lots of time together. They’re both playing it close to the chest, but Tess is the one woman who’s ever left Liam wanting more. They’ve already lied to each other once. Can they overcome the secrets of the past so they can score a future?

Kat Latham writes sexy contemporary romance, including the London Legends rugby series. She’s a California girl who moved to Europe the day after graduating from UCLA, ditching her tank tops for raincoats. She spent several years teaching English in Prague followed by several more working for a humanitarian organization in London. She and her British husband now live in a small town in the rural Netherlands surrounded by miles and miles of green pasture, canals and Shetland ponies. Kat’s slowly adjusting to life in a place where bicycles and cows seem to outnumber people. With degrees in English lit and human rights, she loves stories that reflect the humor and emotion of real life. Kat’s other career involves writing and editing for charities, and she’s had the privilege of traveling to Kenya, Ethiopia and India to write about the heroic people helping their communities survive disasters. You can usually find Kat on her blog (katlatham.com), Twitter (@KatrinaLatham) or Facebook (facebook.com/KatLathamRomance). She hopes you’ll hang out with her there!
