THE CHASE: He was chasing the championship. She became the prize he couldn't resist.

Adrian Cole knows exactly what he wants.

A championship. A bigger contract. A career that will make his father's sacrifices worth it.

And women?

Women are easy.

Until he meets Amara Bennett.

She doesn't care that he's football's golden boy. She doesn't care about his fame, his money, or the women who would do anything for his attention. When Adrian turns on the charm, Amara does the one thing no woman has ever dared to do.

She walks away.

Suddenly, the woman he can't have is the only woman he wants.

But Amara has no intention of becoming another name on Adrian's long list of victories. She knows his reputation. She knows the headlines. And she's determined to keep their relationship strictly professional when her new role brings her dangerously close to the football star she's trying to avoid.

The more Adrian chases, the harder Amara runs.

Until somewhere between stolen moments, late-night conversations, and the man hidden beneath the headlines, Amara begins to wonder if she has misjudged him.

Then a photograph turns their private attraction into public entertainment.

Secrets surface.

Adrian's past comes back to haunt him.

And suddenly, Amara has to decide whether the man she's falling for is genuinely in love with her—or whether she was simply the most irresistible game he had ever played.

Because winning a championship has always been Adrian's goal.

But losing Amara might be the one defeat he can't survive.

THE CHASE is a steamy contemporary sports romance about ambition, attraction, trust, heartbreak, and the risk of choosing love when everything else is on the line.
