One taste. One night. Iāve been losing sleep ever since.
Harperās the only woman whoās ever gotten past my defenses. I donāt even know how she did it. Nothing gets to me. Not the pressure. Not the press. Iāve spent my career as a world-class footballer keeping my coolāon and off the pitch.
Until Harper.
Sheās brilliant, beautiful, and completely unimpressed by me. She doesnāt care about money or status. Sheās so guarded, she becomes the challenge I have to win. Sheās also running from something.
I know how to play the long game. This isnāt just about winning her. Itās about proving to her that what we have is real. Protecting the goal is what I do.
Protecting her? Thatās personal.
A sizzling sports romance with a broody British footballer, a brilliant heroine with secrets to protect, and a slow-burn love story that hits all the emotional highs.
