Book One of The Ironwood House Series
Harper Bennett has one goal: become a sports journalist that people take seriously.
Getting assigned to cover the university's football team should be the opportunity of a lifetime.
Instead, it becomes a disaster.
On her very first day, she publicly challenges the team's golden quarterback, Luca Hayes, during a press conference. The question is simple. His reaction isn't.
Now the star athlete and the ambitious reporter can't stand each other.
Unfortunately, Harper's semester-long assignment means she has to follow the team everywhere-practices, road trips, games, and even inside the infamous Ironwood House, where the team's star players live together.
The more time she spends around Luca, the more she discovers the truth behind the campus legend. Beneath the perfect smile and record-breaking passes is a man carrying impossible expectations, a future hanging in the balance, and secrets he's determined to keep hidden.
Luca has spent years following the rules.
Harper has built her career breaking them.
Falling for each other was never part of the game plan.
But when a story emerges that could destroy everything Luca has worked for, Harper must choose between the career she's always wanted and the man she's never expected to love.
In football, every play comes with a risk.
So does love.
The Playmaker's Rules is a spicy college sports romance featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, witty banter, football house chaos, found family friendships, and a swoon-worthy quarterback who never expected one fearless journalist to change his life.
