Synopsis

No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author Ana Huang is back with the next book in the Gods of the Game series

He has to play by the rules . . . but for her, he'd break them all.

As the captain of Blackcastle Football Club and one of the highest-paid athletes in the game, Vincent DuBois should be on top of the world.
u200b
But when his fame brings danger to his doorstep, he finds himself in his worst nightmare scenario - secretly sharing a flat with his coach's daughter, knowing full well she's far too big a temptation for him to resist.
u200b
When his new living arrangements escalate into a bet that throws them even closer together, he realizes he's in deeper trouble than he thought.
u200b
He's always played to win - but for her, he might just risk it all.
u200b
***
u200b
As a sports nutritionist and the daughter of a legendary coach, Brooklyn Armstrong is used to dealing with hotshot athletes.
u200b
However, no player gets under her skin like Vincent, her best friend's infuriatingly cocky (and gorgeous) brother. She left California hoping for a fresh start, and he's the kind of distraction she doesn't need.
u200b
Now, he's sleeping in the room next to hers while her career is up in the air and her defenses are crumbling.
u200b
But no matter how many sparks fly between them, a relationship between the captain and the coach's daughter could never work . . . could it?
