He has to play by the rules...but for her, he'd break them all.
As the captain of Blackcastle Football Club and one of the highest-paid athletes in the game, Vincent DuBois should be on top of the world.
But when his fame brings danger to his doorstep, he finds himself in a nightmare scenario--sharing a flat with his coach's daughter, knowing full well she's far too big a temptation for him to resist.

***

However, no player gets under her skin like Vincent, her best friend's infuriatingly cocky (and gorgeous) brother. She left California hoping for a fresh start, and he's the kind of distraction she doesn't need.
Now, he's sleeping in the room next to hers while her career is up in the air and her defenses are crumbling.
But no matter how many sparks fly between them, a relationship between the captain and the coach's daughter could never work...could it?
Tropes to love:
- Sizzling sports romance
- Best friend's brother
- Roommates
- Forced proximity
- Captain x coach's daughter
