Winner Takes All Series by Lauren Blakely

Some men are just off-limits. Like, say, all the other football players in the league… I have to stop replaying the one night I spent with my rival. Trouble is, that white-hot encounter with the other quarterback answered a lot of questions I’ve had about myself, but it also led me into this mess where he hates me. I never showed up for our second date. Since, well, life happened, and the worst part is he’ll never know how much that night meant to me... moreSome men are just off-limits.

I never showed up for our second date. Since, well, life happened, and the worst part is he’ll never know how much that night meant to me. But when I’m traded to his cross-town rivals, that’s not the time to serve up my secrets to him either. My team’s PR department wants to double down on our rivalry. I need to focus on football, not on my interest in men. Except, the more time I spend doing media appearances and charity events with the sexy, generous, popular guy, the hungrier I am to finish what we started. It’s a bad idea to knock on his door late one night. I could lose everything. He’s probably not even home. But when the door swings open and I’m face to face with the man I want desperately, I have a choice to make. A standalone, enemies-to-rivals-to-lovers, second chance sports romance full of secrets, first times and forbidden love… less

Technically, he wasn’t my client the night I met him. But that’s hardly an excuse for flirting with the charming athlete at a hotel bar. Buying him a drink. Leading him on that I’d say yes if he asked me to spend the night. My only excuse? Some men are just irresistible. Now I might lose him as a client, and I can’t afford the hit to my reputation. Time to scramble and show the ballplayer why I'm the man to handle his business affairs... moreTechnically, he wasn’t my client the night I met him.
