Wiltshire. Tom Wiltshire.

Riley has been single for over 4 years. By choice. Great family, good friends and happy with her career as a Thoracic Nurse Practitioner. But when her attention caught the most gorgeous mossy green-eyed guy one crazy night in Bournemouth, her peace of mind has been disturbed.

Arrogant, grumpy and not over with his ex. Most especially, he's a rugby player. Her ex was a rugby player, so he is the last person on earth she wants to get involved with.

But the attraction was way too powerful, too overwhelming. He keeps giving her mixed signals and it's confusing where she stands with him.

****

Tom Wiltshire is trying to get back with his ex fiancee that's why he can't afford to have any distraction. If there's anything what rugby taught him, it's about taking control, that's why he is one of the top rugby players in the country.

But after one kiss on a crazy night out with friends in Bournemouth, his wisdom was shaken. The attraction was too much to bear no matter how hard he tries to suppress it.

Which is a major problem.

She's the exact opposite of his ideal. But just one look into her amber almost golden eyes, the 'control' that rugby taught him for years has completely gone out of the window.

Until someone makes it even more complicated than it already is.

Will there be a future in-store for Riley and Tom?
