Defender

He has to play by the rules… but for her, he’d break every single one. Vincent DuBois is the captain of Blackcastle Football Club and one of the highest-paid players in the game. On the pitch, he has everything under control until his fame puts him in danger and forces him into his worst-case scenario: secretly sharing a flat with his coach’s daughter. A woman who is far too tempting for him to resist.

When their new living arrangement turns into a bet that pulls them even closer, Vincent realizes he’s playing a far more dangerous game than he ever expected. He’s always played to win—but for her, he might just risk it all. Brooklyn Armstrong is a sports nutritionist and the daughter of a legendary coach, well-versed in dealing with arrogant, high-profile athletes. Still, no one gets under her skin quite like Vincent her best friend’s infuriatingly cocky (and undeniably gorgeous) brother. She left California for a fresh start, and he’s exactly the kind of distraction she doesn’t need. Now he’s sleeping in the room next to hers while her career hangs in the balance and her carefully built defenses begin to crumble. Sparks fly, temptation grows, but a relationship between the team captain and the coach’s daughter could never work… could it? THE DEFENDER is a steamy soccer (European football) sports romance featuring forced proximity. It’s book two in the Gods of the Game series but can be read as a standalone.
