What to expect
It was all part of the game plan - so why are their hearts offside?
Kansas Harris - Sas for short - has the potential to be the best agent at her father’s sports agency, and she’s figured out exactly how she’s going to prove that: by giving disgraced football star Colton Quinn an image overhaul.
Colton may have got himself in hot water during the off-season, but only he knows the real story behind what happened. Regardless, he needs to pick up his game or risk getting left off the active roster - or worse.
Leaving behind all she knows in New York, Sas arrives in Texas with a surefire plan to save Colton's career as quickly as possible. But when she gets to know the real Colton, that may be easier said than done.
She says she’s staying in the south strictly as his agent but Colton knows how to read a play and he’s about to call her bluff.
A heart-racing spicy sports romance, perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey, Elle Kennedy and Stephanie Archer!
