About this book

When a sports agent desperate to rebuild her reputation is tasked with recruiting a scandalous British soccer star to stay in the States, she figures a little no-strings fun could help them both survive the media circus—until their sizzling chemistry becomes dangerously real. Rush McKenzie is used to being the bad boy everyone loves to hate, but something about Lennox Kincade makes him want to be more than just a distraction, even if admitting it could destroy them both. Their secret arrangement was supposed to be simple and temporary, but as they share a house and deeper connections, both realize they're falling for something neither expected nor can afford to lose. Bromberg delivers a swoon-worthy, tension-filled romance that proves sometimes the best deals are the ones you never see coming.

“Create a playlist called Hard to Hold. Dark R&B, sultry pop, and moody indie rock—the sound of forbidden chemistry and tension that burns too hot to ignore. Sensual vocals, driving beats, electric guitars. Passion colliding with consequence. Desire wrapped in danger.”
