About this book

When a legendary Premier League striker and a former prima ballerina are forced into close quarters for the summer, sparks fly faster than a perfectly executed goal. Asher is charming, impossibly talented, and utterly captivated by Scarlett—but she's strictly off-limits as his rival's sister, and she's already sworn off footballers for good. As their professional dynamic sizzles with undeniable chemistry, both must navigate the delicious tension between what they want and what they know they shouldn't have. This is a swoon-worthy second-chance-at-passion story about two people learning that sometimes the best things in life are the ones you never saw coming.

Sultry pop and indie rock with undeniable chemistry—think The Weeknd meets Arctic Monkeys. Passionate, tension-filled energy where desire simmers beneath professional restraint. Smooth R&B grooves collide with electric guitar. Sensual yet sophisticated, matching forbidden attraction and delayed gratification.
