Recently blacklisted from her chosen career field, Reagan Rollins finds herself in a role she never expected; as player relations manager for the Los Angeles Chargers Football Team. Though grateful for the opportunity and eager to start her new job, she quickly discovers that a career in the male dominated field of sports may not be an easy path for a young woman to navigate. Then, there's the fact that the star quarterback can't seem to keep his eyes off of her. Liam Oliver is everything your average NFL Franchise quarterback is expected to be. A man who throws for hundreds of yards a game, charms the reporters, and then heads out on the town with his model flavor of the month. He's outspoken about his disinterest in steady relationships with a documented past of the playboy lifestyle. So why would he ever spare polished, professional Reagan Rollins a second glance? She does her best to ignore his pursuit, convinced it's nothing more than harmless flirtation but, when Liam Oliver makes an announcement that shocks the sports world to it's core, she finds it much more difficult to deny his feelings. Or to ignore her own. Steam-o-Meter Rating: 🔥🔥🔥 First Five Chapters Available for Free. Read the rest on Radish Fiction today!

He bites his lip, then leans in and kisses me. And the way he kisses me, is the mouth-on-mouth equivalent of saying it's go time. If we were in a PG-13 movie, this is the part where the scene would change to the next day. "I'm gonna take off my pants." But it's not, it's some seriously R-rated shit. ------------------------------------------------------------------- What's the worst thing you've ever done? No, I'm not talking about the time you cut class, or accidently flashed some old lady from the department store change room. No, I'm talking about something bone-chilling. The secret that creeps into your mind late at night, consumes you whole, grips you tighter than a teenage boy with an unsupervised internet connection. Twenty-one year old intern for the Portland Pirates, Rosie Labrun, definitely has a few. Some more Bridgerton level scandalous than others. But after finally managing to land herself an internship with a professional hockey organization, she's determined to leave her past in the filthy rear-view mirror. She's ambitious; and resilient; and won't let anything stand in her way. And things are going good...until Erik King comes to town. New captain of the Pirates and fan favorite, he's about as threatening as a dog in a Halloween costume - and definitely not Rosie's type. But after being introduced to one another after a press conference, he seems to have set his sights on this socially-awkward intern. And while that may sound like most teenage girl's dream of marrying a hockey player, finally coming true, Rosie has no interest in getting played with. That is, until she finds out the two have already been far more than acquainted with one another. Highest Rankings #1 in NHL - 06/03/2022 #1 in Novella - 12/11/2021 #1 in Books - 18/04/2022
