Breathe with Me by Becka Mack
Cara Hunter is a self-made woman. Driven and fearless, she’s never lost a battle. In fact, the only time she’s fallen to her knees was, well . . . for him.
Emmett Brodie might be one of hockey’s hottest players, but the moment he sees Cara, he’s reduced to a single word: hers. And he’ll stop at nothing to change her last name.
With a love as all-encompassing and fierce as theirs, they become the ultimate power couple and the backbone of their family. But when they decide it’s time to have a baby, they discover their journey to conceiving will be anything but easy.
As they face off with infertility, a battle that strips them to their bones, they’ll see just how unshakable their foundation really is.
They thought they could survive anything together, but how do you survive when you’re barely breathing?
Tell Me You Love Me by Emilia Finn
Alana Page was mine. And then she wasn’t.
We promised forever. But ten years ago, she ditched town without so much as a goodbye text. Now she’s back… with a kid in tow who was born just 7 months after she left.
It’s no secret I’m just a fighter. I wasn’t particularly gifted in school, and the only reason I graduated at all was because of Alana’s tutoring efforts. But it doesn’t take an academic genius to realize the math ain’t mathing.
Maybe marrying the town’s broke, abused, token troublemaker wasn’t a part of her plans back then.
But I’ll be damned if she gets to slide into town now and not answer for the hearts she broke or the kid who looks a hell of a lot like someone I know.
Tap gloves, Alana. It’s time for round two to begin.
Red Zone by Lisa Suzanne
My job is simple: make Maverick Jennings, the world’s grumpiest quarterback, look like a decent human being. If I can’t fix his reputation, I can kiss my dream of launching my own brand consulting business goodbye.
His job? Making my life a living nightmare.
He’s arrogant, impossible, and entirely too handsome for someone so determined to self-destruct. He rejects every idea, challenges every strategy, and looks at me like he can’t decide whether to strangle me or kiss me. Honestly, same.
But the closer I get to the man behind the headlines, the more I realize his scowl is hiding a world of pain.
He’s my most difficult client. I’m his last chance.
It only takes one reckless night to change everything.
Somewhere between tension and temptation, protecting his image became more than just a job. Now my career is in the red zone, and the wrong choice between loyalty and love could cost me everything.
Sweet Temptation by Bella Matthews
Lucky Beneventi might be the villain in my fairytale, but given the choice, I’m not sure I’d have it any other way.
My brother’s best friend and Philly’s favorite football player is the same cocky bad boy every girl wants and the dangerous temptation I was never supposed to touch.
Until I did... And now I can’t stop.
I’m selfish enough to crave him—his kiss, his body, his heart—even when I know I’ll leave it shattered in the end.
But this can’t happen. We can’t happen. I won’t let us.
Even if he makes me feel alive in a way my broken body knows won’t last forever...
Because the truth is, when the story ends, Lucky isn’t the villain. I am.
Lucky by Sawyer Bennett
They call me Lucky for a reason. My grandmother swears I was cursed at birth—yet somehow, I’ve been kissed by fate every day since. I’ve got my rabbit’s foot, a shamrock tattoo, and quirky rituals by the dozen—and it’s all worked so far. Life’s been smooth. Hockey, clout, fun... I’m skating through.
Until I meet Winifred Shaw. Winnie. She’s smart, bold, and laugh-out-loud funny, with a TikTok following that rivals mine and a dating challenge that’s going viral. The premise? Thirty days of dating to prove an average woman can still land a decent guy. I’m the first to accept the challenge—one night, one chance, and then she moves on. But the moment she rolls her eyes at me, I’m hooked.
She thinks I’m just another overhyped athlete with a pretty face and a lucky streak. But I see her—confident, curvy, electric—and I don’t just want a second date. I want every single one after that.
I’ve always trusted luck to get me where I need to be. But this time? I’m ready to fight for it.
Playing Mr. Perfect by Melissa Foster
Okay, I admit it. Sleeping with the NFL quarterback who the media has dubbed Mr. Perfect might not have been the smartest move, but I'm in the City of Love, I'd had a few drinks, and was jacked up on giddy girl talk and hopeful hearts-two things I never buy into-and I threw caution to the wind.
I want to sneak out before he wakes up, but when I open my eyes, he's already up. In more ways than one.
Convincing the ridiculously cocky (pun intended) man that I'm not the woman he slept with last night is awkward.
Actually, he makes it impossible.
The thing is, I don't even know who that woman was.
And now he's determined to find out.
Dear #47, You're the Worst by Vivian Wood
After escaping a relationship that’s splashed across every sports headline, Juliet Monroe moves back to Seattle and swears off hockey players for good.
Then Seattle Havoc enforcer Hunter Huxley punches a fan on live TV. Now the team’s grumpy, six-foot-six problem child has a PR disaster on his hands, and Juliet’s the only consultant desperate enough to take the job.
They can’t stand each other. He’s all muscle and menace. She’s all bombshell lipstick and cutting comebacks. But the team’s solution is simple: fix his bad-boy image with a fake engagement, smile for the cameras, wear the ring, and live together until the story sticks.
Juliet can fake the smiles. What she can’t fake is the chemistry that crackles every time he looks at her like he’s imagining her in his bed instead of in a press release.
Hunter doesn’t care about redemption. He cares about winning. But living with Juliet turns every fight into foreplay and every touch into a losing battle.
What starts as a contract starts to feel real. Because the league’s angriest player is about to break his own rules… and fall for the woman he is never supposed to touch.
Run the Play by Kaylee Ryan
Rowan
I swore I’d never look twice at a football player again, especially after barely surviving the last one. But when my abusive ex gets traded to the team I work for, my past shows up to haunt me. Not a moment too soon, star player Landry Reynolds runs interference, announcing that he’s my boyfriend. My emotions get the best of me, and I find myself playing along. He’s charming, bold, and way too convincing. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to remember that it’s all pretend. I might be falling for my fake boyfriend, but I can never have him for real. I could lose everything I’ve finally found, and that’s scarier than having my heart crushed by the wide receiver.
Landry
I didn’t mean to get involved. I just couldn’t watch her shrink away from him a second longer—not after knowing what he put her through. So I did what I do best: I ran the play and told him she’s mine. Now I can’t stop thinking about how right that little white lie feels. How right she feels. There’s a good chance I was never faking. This started as a way to protect her. I never imagined it’d be so hard keeping my hands off her. Then again, I’ve never been very good at following the rules.
The Boards Between Us by Cassandra Moll
When a devastating injury ended Levi Montgomery’s hockey career, his life was turned upside down. Not only did he lose his roster spot, but he also lost his long-term girlfriend who seemed to want his fame and status more than him. When he got the call to join the coaching staff of the Golden City's hottest hockey team, his life—at least career-wise—finally turned around. Finally, the youngest coach in the NHL has love again—even if it's just his job.
Alex Bennett is no stranger to loss. When she got pregnant at twenty, her boyfriend—and the man who she thought was the love of her life—all but abandoned her and her son. He was out to chase a life of luxury, and she was left alone. Now, juggling two unfulfilling jobs and an even more disappointing love life, she’s sworn off men in suits—especially ones who remind her of her ex.
When Alex and Levi cross paths at a Flames game, neither expects the immediate spark between them. What starts as a simple attraction soon turns into a secret arrangement—but keeping things strictly physical proves harder than they imagined. As their walls begin to crumble, they’re forced to face the truth. Will they risk their hearts for something real, or will they be stuck with more than just the boards between them?
Sweet Little Hearts by Shanora Williams
Javier Valdez hasn’t had much luck with nannies, and he can’t imagine this one will be any different. Octavia Klein is all sass to his stoicism, free spirit to his hard work.
But he’s a widower, and with a career in the NBA, he can’t keep doing this alone.
Despite Javier’s reservations, Octavia turns out to be the best thing for his four-year-old daughter…and for him. But he’s reluctant to admit it. Javier swore off love after his wife died, and Octavia has her own reasons for avoiding relationships.
As their bond deepens far past professionalism or even friendship, it’s hard to deny the crackling tension of something more.
They’re both toeing lines they said they wouldn’t cross—and when their pasts come rushing back, there’s no telling which way they’ll fall.
With old wounds reopened, can Javier and Octavia overcome the pain once again? Or will their future together become just another scar?
Follow the Play by Kaylee Ryan
Baker
Being a single dad was never part of the playbook, but one look at my son and everything changed. Now football and fatherhood are my whole world—a world that gets turned upside down when my nanny quits two weeks before training camp. Sloane Peterson runs interference by stepping in to help. She's sweet, dependable, and the one woman I shouldn't want. Not when our lives are so entwined. But every time she smiles at my son—or me—it gets harder to remember that our little arrangement is only temporary.
Sloane
Taking a short-term nanny gig for Nashville Rampage’s most eligible DILF has disaster written all over it. But when Daddy Sin is in a bind, I do just that. It keeps me from waiting tables, and his son is the cutest little boy on the planet. Baker Sinclair is famous, has a body like a Greek god, and when he’s in daddy mode… he’s irresistible. He’s also currently my new boss, and completely forbidden. The longer I'm in his home, the less this feels like a job. Because between reading bedtime stories and baking cookies, I can't imagine my life without them... either of them. Too bad love doesn't follow lesson plans... or playbooks.
Lucky Shot by Rebecca Jenshak
Nick Galaxy has zero interest in helping anyone write a love story—especially not one about him. He’s a single dad with enough on his plate, and the last thing he needs is a curious, chatty author poking around in his past.
But when Ruby shows up on his doorstep, notebook in hand and determined smile on her face, resistance becomes... complicated.
She’s supposed to be here for research. Instead, she’s moving into the empty cabin on his property, asking personal questions, and somehow roping him into teaching her how to skate.
He’s not looking for love—but she’s writing it into every inch of his life.
And the more time they spend on the ice, the harder it is to pretend she doesn’t already have his heart.
Highest Point by Kels Stone
Alec Hastings
I had a plan for everything. Gear lists, weather patterns, mountain routes down to the mile. But nothing prepared me for the moment I watched my best friend fall into the abyss. After Finn’s accident, I walked away from the mountains to fix up the abandoned lodge we bought as teenagers so he has a safe place to recover. The man who sold us the place is gone, but his granddaughter, Clementine, is here, and she needs a partner to enter a high-stakes wilderness competition with a cash prize she’s desperate to win. She knows design. I know survival. So we strike a deal: She helps me finish the lodge, I help her win. This year, the annual competition is bigger than ever, so we start training—hard. While I had my doubts initially, Clementine doesn’t quit, even when she should. I’ve summited K2 and Everest, but I’ve never encountered anything like her. She’s too young, too sunlit, too…everything. And the longer we work together, the harder it is to pretend this partnership, and my time in Alaska, is temporary.
Clementine Lennox
Newly promoted principal dancer with the New York City Ballet. That’s what was meant to happen. Instead, I packed up my dreams and fled to the remote town where I spent my childhood summers. The only goal I have now is paying off the mountain of debt that followed me across the country. My solution? Winning Wild Trails—with the help of legendary mountaineer Alec Hastings. Alec is enigmatic and intense, and though he pushes me to the brink, he’s always there to catch me. His faith in me makes me feel like I still matter…like I’m not a failure. With each milestone I achieve, I prove to myself that I’m more than the sum of my broken dreams—and that I’m allowed to choose myself. And I might have to. Because Alec has always chased the next adventure, and with the clock ticking on our agreement, I have a feeling he’ll be gone when the seasons change.
Tee'd Up For Trouble by Maya Alden
One American Billionaire + One Irish Pub Owner = Trouble
Burned by betrayal, Jax Caldwell, golf’s answer to Henry Cavill, needs a break from the spotlight. He didn’t expect to find it in the form of a busted Porsche on a muddy road leading to the edge of nowhere: Ballybeg, Ireland.
The only vacancy in town is a cramped room above The Banshee’s Rest, a crumbling pub owned by the fierce, breathtaking Deirdre Gallagher.
Dee has no time for spoiled American playboys, no matter how sinful their smiles—she’s too busy trying to save her family’s legacy and protect the village from developers hell-bent on paving over their lands.
As sparks fly and their slow-burn attraction threatens to boil over, old betrayals resurface—ones that could cost Dee her everything, and Jax, the woman he’s fallen in love with.
If You Claim Me by Helena Hunting
Hockey’s most hated player just asked me to marry him.
Connor Grace is the league’s bad boy–and my best friend’s worst enemy. He’s the fallen prince of a famous hotel chain dynasty. Me? I’m the foster kid who grew up to be a librarian.
I never thought I’d end up in a marriage of convenience to make someone’s grandma happy, but here we are.
I have no plans to kiss my husband for any reason other than show. I have no plans to fall in love with the arrogant man dressed in a custom suit hiding intricate tattoos.
But when we’re alone, he drops the mask he wears for the rest of the world. He holds me like he means it when he says I’m his. And I want to believe him.
Too bad I learned early on that fairytales aren’t real, and nothing good lasts forever.
Play Me by Adriana Locke
He’s supposed to be playing rugby—not playing me. I didn’t think it was possible to hate someone. Like utterly despise another human. Then I was hired to babysit the Royals’ newest star and found out just how wrong I was.
My job should’ve been easy. Keep the hotshot on time and out of trouble. But that’s hard to do when I dream of smothering him with his jersey.
Every day delivers a new reason to detest Gray Adler. His truck is the size of a whale, and he uses the horn like a weapon. And, no, that’s not a euphemism. He can’t manage a sentence without being rude. And the universe, in its cruelest joke, gave that tattooed, walking red flag the body of a Greek god.
Just when I finally get used to hating him, things take a turn. A scalding-hot, mind-blowing I can’t do this with a man I work with sort of turn.
Suddenly, those rough hands make my skin sizzle. His sinful smirks fade into grins just for me. And our banter shifts into something much more profound than it should.
But Gray Adler is hiding something. And when those secrets collide with my vulnerable heart, I ask myself an important question. Is he finally telling me the truth, or am I still getting played?
Single Glance by K.C. Brooks
When it comes to Cam Seda, the lines are clear. He’s my best friend’s ex and the father of her daughter. The one man who I cannot cross any lines with.
He might look like he’s been carved out of marble, and has a smile that melts me to my core, but that’s where the attraction ends. Ever since our paths first crossed, we’ve been at each other’s throats, neither willing to concede an inch to the other.
However, when we find ourselves in each other’s orbits, those lines thin, and I can’t remember why we’ve never gotten along. In fact, the more time I spend with Cam, I realize he might be exactly who I’ve been looking for all along.
As I get to know the man beneath the baseball jersey, it gets harder to ignore the pull between us. With each moment we share, the more I want him, and it’s getting harder to remember why we can’t be together.
With more hearts than ours on the line, it’s a dangerous game. And one I can’t help but play.
The Grump Next Door by Brighton Walsh
Our first kiss was a lie. Our second was a mistake. And the night we spent tangled up in each other? Hot as hell but a complete disaster.
Because now Sutton Sinclair—the sharp-tongued troublemaker who left claw marks down my back and a dent in my self-control—is living in my backyard cottage with her teenage daughter. And I’m her goddamn landlord.
I like things quiet. Controlled. She's neither. Sutton’s chaos wrapped in sunshine, a temptation in scrubs I can’t seem to stay away from. When her ex shows up acting like Sutton’s still his to lose, I claim her on instinct. The kiss? Hot. The fallout? Immediate.
Now my family—and the entire town—thinks we’re a couple. Fake dating Sutton wasn’t in my playbook, but if being a pro-footballer turned high school coach has taught me anything, it’s how to pivot. All I have to do is keep my hands to myself.
Then her cottage floods. Now we’re sharing a roof…and a bed. The line between real and fake is blurring faster than I can redo the guest house. This is supposed to be temporary. But Sutton doesn’t just crash into my life—she rewrites it. She’s in my home, moaning my name, breaking every rule I’ve ever lived by.
And I’m starting to want something permanent with the woman who’s already got one foot out the door.
Only For Tonight by Natasha Madison
When one night changes everything.
Ariella
The last time I saw him, I'd just turned eighteen. Six years later we're face-to-face again. Neither of us wanted the night to end. The next morning, we made a pact. Each of us going our separate ways. Until two pink lines changed everything.
Jaxon
Life was going my way. Hockey. Family. All of it. Until...I saw her. She was different now. One thing led to another and we got carried away. It was supposed to be one night. Our secret. Then she's at my door with news that rocks my world. I'm going to be a dad.
Playing Games by Max Monroe
Dickson University’s star quarterback and campus golden boy is used to winning on and off the field…until he meets the one woman who changes the game.
Blake Boden is the ultimate distraction—annoyingly handsome, enigmatic, and confident enough to make my teeth grind. He’s the kind of guy who could charm anyone with a single smile, and somehow, I’ve become his latest challenge.
Only, I don’t do challenges—and I don’t do love. Emotions? Just chemical reactions. Distractions? Not on my agenda. But he has a stubborn streak that won’t leave me alone, and I have a dissertation due at the end of the semester on computer-assisted research that I could put to the test a little more.
I’ll analyze his charm, track my reactions, and prove once and for all that attraction is nothing but science…and love is a mere figment of the imagination.
Hypothesis: Time with Blake Boden is purely scientific. Conclusion: He’s not just breaking my rules—he’s rewriting them.
Mad Rivals by Lisa Suzanne
Pro football legend Madden Bradley was never supposed to be anything but my enemy. With one season left on his contract, he’s set to take over his family’s empire, and I’m his business rival. Forced into a partnership we both resent, the last place I should be is tangled in his sheets.
Now we’re stuck working together, and the more we clash, the more explosive the tension becomes…until it finally detonates.
He’s maddening, charming, and completely addictive. And when he murmurs exactly what he’s going to do to me, I forget that he’s supposed to be the enemy.
Our forbidden romance has to stay between us. Our families can’t find out. Our companies can’t know. The truth could destroy everything we’ve worked for.
But when we discover a buried secret together, Madden faces an impossible choice: The legacy he was born to lead… or the woman he was never supposed to fall for.
Red Zone by Riley Paige
Carter
I’ve spent my whole life proving people wrong. From foster homes to the football field, I clawed my way out, one yard at a time. And now? I’m on the verge of everything I’ve worked for. The draft. The NFL. The future I’ve always dreamed about. Except all I can think about… is her. Lyla Harding– my coach’s daughter.
Lyla
Carter Hayes is a walking headline waiting to happen. And I’m the one who’s supposed to keep his image clean. He’s infuriating. Arrogant. Impossible to ignore. And the more I tell myself he’s just another assignment… the harder it gets to pretend he isn’t everything I’ve ever wanted. Choosing him could cost me everything I’ve worked for. But staying away might break me anyway.
Ice Block by Ellie K. Drake
Maggie James is a smart, ambitious, and career driven woman. When she realizes she’s stuck in a dead-end job, she dreams of opening her own branding company.
After a brutal day at work, a one-night stand with a handsome Russian hockey player feels like just the escape she needs.
Vladi Volkov is the broody starting goalie for the Milwaukee Steel Riders, haunted by a painful past and a strict no-relationships rule. After getting benched, a strong pour of bourbon and a gorgeous woman seem like a solid game plan.
But when he realizes Maggie isn’t just another hookup, emotions he’s worked hard to block come rushing to the surface panicking him into sneaking away in the middle of the night.
Seven months later they are stuck together at their best friend’s destination wedding: same island, one room, one bed. Maggie and Vladi are about to find out that unresolved chemistry, tropical heat, and shared hotel space are a dangerous combination.
Lessons in Heartbreak by Karla Sorensen
It’s an unwritten rule somewhere: small-town librarians shall not commit spontaneous acts, for fear of mortal embarrassment. I’d certainly just proved it true, though hiring an escort was perfectly logical. How else should I overcome my fear of intimacy without risking heartbreak?
Unfortunately, what came next wasn’t so logical.
Instead of a dating coach, Griffin King showed up. Yes, that Griffin King: my childhood neighbor and now, to my dismay, an obscenely handsome pro football player. He’s not actually an escort, but how was I supposed to know that?
Avoiding him after the mix-up is impossible. The man is everywhere—put in time-out by his agent after a PR snafu. Griffin might be an outrageous flirt determined to torment me until I snap, but he’s also the perfect man to help me.
The lessons aren’t what I thought they’d be. Neither is Griffin. Every time we touch, every time he shows me a different side to myself—and to him—I can’t help but wonder if we’re about to break another rule: the playboy and the good girl aren’t supposed to fall in love.
Lucky Shot by K. Bromberg
Our first meeting? He stood me up. Our second chance encounter? I told him exactly what I thought of him. Our third? It came with a bet (he lost) and an understanding that we’re stuck with one another.
It doesn’t matter that he’s Alexander Hardy—British soccer star extraordinaire, world-famous in every way, and a certified sex symbol. We come from two different worlds and live in two different realities. But all we need is one month.
The bet: Help him rehab his reputation to the media and the masses, and in exchange, he’ll help my soccer academy and the underprivileged kids who idolize him.
That doesn’t mean I have to like him. Not his delicious accent, his sexy smirk or those storm cloud gray eyes. Not his incredibly fit body or his sinfully dirty mouth. Not even the way he shows up day after day for the kids or the way he looks at me like he wants to devour me.
He looks at time spent in my world as a penance, while I look at it as a way to leverage his star power to help my academy survive.
But as the days turn to weeks, it seems we’re not as different as I once thought. The man who cares about no one, has fixed his sights on me. With his time at my academy up and his obligations back home calling, do we have a lucky shot of working out?
His Last Shot by Elaine Evans
Everyone loves the tall, funny, successful, and ridiculously handsome pool shark, Johnny Givens. He’s the guy every woman wants. So why hasn’t he found the one? At forty-five years old, he’s tired of the dating scene, tired of not clicking with any woman that crosses his path. He’s over it.
Rachel Garcia hopes for a better life, but for now, she bartends at her overbearing Uncle Dexter’s bar. And as for love, she has a few rules. No dating customers, no dating older men. Sounds simple enough. Yet, it’s the rheumatoid arthritis she’s battled since childhood that makes everything feel so difficult and hopeless. Why would anyone stick around long term? Chronic illness isn’t something you expect to deal with at the age of thirty. Life is so unfair.
Then Johnny happens. He’s a customer, fifteen years older, and everything she doesn’t want. As luck would have it, she’s forced to see a lot of him when he joins the local pool league at Dexter’s. Now, nothing is ever the same. With her heart or her life.
Johnny is smitten. Sparks fly, and chemistry erupts unlike anything he’s ever felt before. Dates spent stargazing with her are the building blocks to the love story he has always desired. If only it were that simple. Rachel’s insecurities, a dangerous uncle who runs an illegal gambling ring, and an ex-fiancé who wants her back, all threaten to destroy Johnny’s last shot at love.
Hold Me Tight by Jennifer Sucevic
I swore I’d never fall for another hockey player. Not after Zane. My ex and the father of my daughter.
But when I need a place to stay, River Thompson is the one who opens his door. My ex’s teammate and best friend. Completely off-limits. The man who looks at me like I’ve always belonged to him.
There’s just one catch… I have to share his bed.
Living under the same roof makes it impossible to ignore the way he’s been quietly biding his time. He’s patient, protective, and determined to prove he’s not like the man who broke me. And the way he is with my daughter makes it even harder to guard my heart.
Every night I spend in his bed, the slow burn between us threatens to ignite. Trusting River means risking not only my heart, but my daughter’s too. The scariest part?
I’m starting to believe he might be worth it.
Tempting The Goalie by R.C. Stephens
He’s a six-foot-four hockey Adonis on the ice—and a heartbreaker off it.
Luc Chabot has always been the most gorgeous guy in town, with stormy gray eyes and muscles for days. The catch? He’s also my best friend.
When my NHL hockey player boyfriend cheats on me and leaves my confidence in pieces, Luc is the one who shows up just like he always does. But this time, I need more than a shoulder to cry on. I need to feel wanted. Desired. Alive again.
Luc is Riverside U’s golden boy the guy every girl wants. When his reputation takes a hit, I make him a deal: I’ll help clean up his image… and he’ll help remind me exactly what I’ve been missing. No strings. No feelings. Just friends crossing lines we swore we never would.
Then his hands start lingering in places they shouldn’t. His voice drops, low and rough, when he says my name. And the heat between us turns into something I can’t pretend away. He’s not a forever kind of guy.
Yet the way he touches me, it feels like everything I’ve ever wanted. And that’s the most dangerous part of all.
High Sticking the Heart by Marie M.
Ariella Contreras doesn’t have time for distractions. She’s fought hard for her independence, determined to break free from cultural tradition, family expectations, and anything that could derail her career. So when a tall, cowboy hat-wearing Texan with Wranglers tight enough to test the strongest will begs her to pose as his fake date to dodge an ex? She should’ve stuck to her first instinct and told him to get lost.
Because the man she was never supposed to see again? Turns out he’s Dalton Langley, star player for the hockey team she’s just been hired to coach on… and the son of her new boss.
Now, with her job under scrutiny and the team owner watching her every move, walking away from the charade isn’t an option. To protect her position, Ariella has to keep up the act. At least until she proves she belongs on this team because of her performance, not because of who she’s dating.
Dalton’s plan this season is simple: stay out of the tabloids, stay focused, and definitely don’t get involved with anyone. Especially not the new strength coach who challenges him at every turn and makes him feel like he's more than just a headline.
What was supposed to be one night of fake dating is quickly spiraling into something neither of them saw coming. The lines between real and fake begin to blur, and walking away might end up hurting like a High Stick to the Heart.
Keep Me Never by Meagan Brandy
On the outside, it looks like I've got it all together. I'm killing it on the football field, pushing harder than ever before and breaking league records.
But on the inside, I'm a mess, the pressure of the game too much, the betrayal from someone I trusted weighing me down with every breath.
I'm drowning and there's no one to pull me up. Until her.
I tried to stay away, to keep my distance so I wouldn't ruin us both, but I was powerless against her. She's everything I didn't know I wanted and more than I could ever deserve.
That right there is how I knew I couldn't keep her, but that didn't stop me from falling in love with her.
Just when I think maybe I'm becoming the man I want to be, my world comes crashing down around me, and I'm faced with a choice that has the power to break us both.
Suddenly, I'm right back where I started. I'm the guy with nothing to give―and she's the girl who deserves the world.
