📚 Book 2 of a completed 5-book series
When a brilliant sports agent and her star baseball client collide over business and chemistry, their scorching professional dynamic threatens to become dangerously personal. Liz Darnell will stop at nothing to reclaim Gavin Riley as her client—even if it means getting up close and personal with the infuriatingly attractive athlete who left her agency in the dust. What starts as a high-stakes negotiation sizzles into something neither of them saw coming, and suddenly the biggest play they're making is for each other's hearts. In a romance where ambition and passion go head-to-head, these two discover that some wins are worth more than any contract ever could be.
Reading soundtrack
Sultry R&B and pop with undeniable chemistry—think confident swagger, tension-filled beats, and sensual grooves. Smoldering indie rock alongside explicit slow burns. High stakes, higher heat. Intensity building with every track.
