♥A steamy, forbidden one-night stand, ex’s sister, football romance♥

Before starting my NFL career, I flew into the city closest to the town I’d call home. I booked a room, went out to grab a bite, and ended up talking football with the locals, who had no clue who I was. Oh yeah, and I had a few too many drinks.

As the night wore on, everything became a little bit blurry. Deciding to use the men’s room before grabbing a ride back to the hotel to catch some ZZZs, the door to the stall behind me swung open and a chick with an SU ball cap on, barely containing her wild, dark locks, stepped out, glanced down at my junk, and said, “That will work.”

My response? “You sure about that?”

It worked. Of course, it worked. I’ve never had a problem making it … work.

Even after finding out she was related to the owners of the New York Knights, there wasn’t a problem. We agreed it was no big deal. I didn’t even take offense to what that could have meant south of the border, either.

The problem arose when I met her sister.

They look alike, but they couldn't be any different. And no, it’s not what you’re thinking. I don’t have a sisters fantasy or anything like that, and I’ve never been, and never will be, the guy who falls in love. My heart just doesn’t work that way.

The minute I met her fiancé, I knew he wasn’t the kind of guy who deserves to marry a girl like Riley Mae Brooks. Everyone around her knows it, too, but they’re not doing a damn thing to stop it. So, why do I feel like I have to?

Game Changer

He’s Every Woman’s Dream, But Not Mine … Right?

I’ve rebuilt my life from the ground up. My business is thriving, my best friends and family stand by my side, and I’m healing, day by day, from a devastating breakup. I don’t need love. I don’t need distractions. I want a sweet, simple life.

Then there’s Beau "Big Daddy" Boone. Tall, dark, devastatingly handsome, a professional football player, and a single dad who worships his little girl, he’s everything women dream about. But not me. At least, that’s what I tell myself.

Because ever since one innocent kiss turned into something much hotter, he’s been starring in every one of my naughty little fantasies. And when he looks at me like he wants more, I forget every rule I swore I’d follow.

One Innocent Kiss Changed Things.

I finally have everything I worked for. My daughter and Lindsey have moved to Blue Valley, giving me the chance to be the father my little girl deserves, Lindsey and I are learning to co-parent while seeing if it could be more, and my team, the New York Knights, are fighting to stay number one in the league.

My life is good, but there are a couple problems.

The first is I'm failing to show my daughter's mom that I can be exactly what she needs, and second, before all of this … I kissed a girl, and I liked it. More than I should. More than I ever expected.

One Kiss. One Spark. One Chance to Keep My Girl in Blue Valley.

A Forced Proximity, Enemies to Lovers, Sports Romance

Of all the men in Blue Valley, Kolby Grimes is the last man I'd never touch—cocky, brooding, and completely closed off.
He plays football for the New York Knights, so my family signs his paychecks.
Now he's living under my roof, sleeping one room over, and looking at me like I'm the one rule he wants to break.
One night was supposed to get him out of my system.
Supposed to.

Kolby

I wanted her from the second I set foot in Blue Valley, but I soon discovered she wasn't mine to have.
Her family owns the team, and for all intents and purposes, they own me, too.
We've spent years circling each other: me angry, her distant, both of us pretending we don't feel that pull.
Now we're under the same roof, and there's nowhere to hide.
And for the first time in my life, I'm sick of hiding.

Dream Chaser

It was supposed to be a detour, not a destination.

Izzy

I’ve got websites to keep running, shifts to cover at the brewery, my ‘volunteer work’, a twenty-acre co-op farm to launch, a newspaper, and a coffee shop to figure out what to do with.

How is it that the merch closet reorganization is my biggest challenge? Okay, maybe not my biggest.

I manage my time to the minute and make time for all the important things. What I don’t have time for is the starting right guard of the New York Knights—no matter how much he fills out his team tee.

Griffon Skinner is all biceps, smirks, and trouble.

One night in Philly, we crossed a line.

And now?

He’s showing up in my space, drinking my coffee, and making me feel things I absolutely do not have time to feel.

Griffon

I’ve played in some of the loudest stadiums in the country, and with more … ladies than I can count, but nothing makes my heart race like Izzy Ross.

She’s a force—untamed, brilliant, unpredictable.

That night after the playoffs? I should’ve left it there.

But I didn’t.

And now I’m fighting to stay in control.

She thinks I’m just another jock with an ego complex.

I think she’s the most addictive thing I’ve ever touched.

One night was supposed to be enough.

Two might be considered a mistake.

But the more I see her—the woman, the dreamer, the tether—I know I’m already all in.

What to expect:

💛One Night Stand (with lingering consequences)
🏈Sports Romance (Pro Football)
💛Grumpy/Sunshine (in reverse!)
🏈Forced Proximity
💛Small Town / Found Family
🏈He Falls First
💛Secret Hookup to Something More
