About this book
Keeping the newest star athlete of the Royals on track should be a simple job, but for one woman, it quickly becomes a nightmare. Enter Gray Adler: a professional rugby player who is as arrogant as he is infuriating. From his aggressive driving to his constant, cutting remarks, Gray is a walking red flag. To make matters worse, he possesses the kind of rugged, tattooed physique that makes it impossible to look away, turning a professional assignment into a battle of wills. This classic enemies-to-lovers story thrives on the tension of close proximity. What begins as a mutual dislike fueled by snarky banter and clashing personalities eventually shifts into a dangerous, electric attraction. As their professional boundaries blur and their chemistry intensifies, the connection between them grows far more profound than either anticipated. However, Gray is harboring secrets that threaten to shatter their fragile dynamic. As the lines between genuine affection and calculated games become increasingly difficult to distinguish, she is forced to confront a painful reality: is she finally seeing the real man behind the athlete, or is she just another move in his game? This slow-burn romance delivers the perfect blend of sharp-tongued humor and heart-tugging emotional stakes.

See all formats and editions He’s supposed to be playing rugby—not playing me. I didn’t think it was possible to hate someone. Like utterly despise another human. Then I was hired to babysit the Royals’ newest star and found out just how wrong I was. My job should’ve been easy. Keep the hotshot on time and out of trouble. But that’s hard to do when I dream of smothering him with his jersey. Every day delivers a new reason to detest Gray Adler. His truck is the size of a whale, and he uses the horn like a weapon. And, no, that’s not a euphemism. He can’t manage a sentence without being rude. And the universe, in its cruelest joke, gave that tattooed, walking red flag the body of a Greek god. Just when I finally get used to hating him, things take a turn. A scalding-hot, mind-blowing I can’t do this with a man I work with sort of turn. Suddenly, those rough hands make my skin sizzle. His sinful smirks fade into grins just for me. And our banter shifts into something much more profound than it should. But Gray Adler is hiding something. And when those secrets collide with my vulnerable heart, I ask myself an important question. Is he finally telling me the truth, or am I still getting played? ________________________________ Tropes: Pro Rugby Romance Grumpy / Grumpy Enemies-to-Lovers Slow Burn Close Proximity One Place to Sleep Small Town Boy Coming Home Romantic Comedy (with emotion!) ) Previous slide of product details 1.
