There’s always a winner. The trick is not to be the loser. Koa Jackson was born to wear the Number 8 jersey. Leading his team in tackles, he’s a powerhouse ready to put the Carolina Rovers on the map in Major League Rugby.

As a popular blogger, Finley agrees to promote the team with highlight posts and interviews, but she didn’t expect Koa.

When he throws down a challenge, betting he can outlast her resistance to the intense attraction they both feel, Finley can’t refuse. The only question is, who will break down first?
