When I'm traded to a championship-ready superteam, it finally feels within reach-even if I walk into a locker room full of tension and resentment over losing their star. Then I meet Ava Phillips. She's the team's publisher, responsible for holding the franchise together in the media. I'm supposed to stay focused, but the more we're forced into each other's orbit, the more she becomes impossible to ignore.

But after one mistake that breaks every rule, I'm left hiding a secret that could destroy everything. I'm pregnant-and the father is no other than Jace Rhodes.

But everything changes when a seemingly innocent charity calendar photo goes viral, capturing her in a provocative pose with Jaxon Reyes, the university's infamous rugby star and notorious womanizer.

While Ava's life is meticulously planned, Jaxon lives for the thrill of the moment, his good looks and shameless antics making him a campus legend. Their worlds couldn't be more different, yet the scandalous photo forces them into each other's orbit in the most explosive way possible. With Ava's reputation on the line and Jaxon's careless charm threatening to pull her deeper into his chaotic world, the two are forced to team up to manage the fallout. As they navigate the media frenzy, they uncover more than just the truth behind the scandal-they find an undeniable attraction that neither can ignore. In a battle between reputation and desire, Ava and Jaxon must decide if they can overcome their differences and build something real, or if their fleeting connection will be another casualty of the spotlight.

I opened my mouth maybe to say it was okay, maybe to ask something but the words died when he suddenly leaned across the console, cupping my face between his large, calloused hands.
