Cole Patrick is the league’s favorite bad boy — a tattooed, trash‑talking defensive end who never does second dates. Hanna Wright is the six‑foot‑tall financial analyst who shuts him down with one raised eyebrow and a smirk.
He should walk away. She should know better. Neither of them does.
Thrown together by family obligations and a deal Hanna can’t refuse, their slow—burn chemistry turns into something neither of them saw coming. Cole finds himself craving the one woman who doesn’t care about his fame. Hanna discovers the man behind the headline - steady, loyal, and far too tempting.
But when his well-earned reputation collides with family obligations and unexpected feelings, they’ll have to decide if this is just a summer fling… or the first real shot at love either of them has ever taken.
A steamy, emotional sports romance about trust, second chances, and falling for the one person you never expected.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I'm Vicki — a Wisconsin-based romance author who believes love stories should make you laugh, swoon, and maybe cry a little (the good kind). My books are full of small-town charm, real-life complications, and characters you'll want to hug.
Speaking of hugs, fair warning: I'm a hugger. Also a mocha enthusiast. Extra whip, always.
