A broken hero, forced proximity, forbidden love, sports romance. ‘A lie by omission is still a lie.’ Kenzie ‘And just like that, I lost my home, my job, and my dog. Oh, and I also lost my boyfriend, but he lied and cheated, so no big loss I guess. To reclaim my dog, I need a job. The only one on offer is publicist for the Southern Mavericks football team. I didn’t expect to fall for the captain, then he made me laugh. I didn’t want to share a hotel room with him, let alone a bed. I can’t date a player when I’m working for the team. Workplace romances never work out, I should know.’ Cooper Search my name, and rugby is hardly mentioned. I played hard, avoided relationships, earned my bad-boy reputation, but my new team needs a leader. Easy. Then I’m forced to share my room with Kenzie. I didn’t lie, not really, but Kenzie walked away. I will do anything to make her forgive me, even therapy. I will be the player my team need, then man Kenzie deserves.’ Kenzie ‘Behind the banter and laughter, there’s a broken hero who I love but can’t fix him. I can’t save him. But how can I stand back and watch the man I love self-destruct.’ Stand-alone romance set in Vegas and Australia. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and maybe, just maybe that happy ending.
