The headline could write itself:
Matthew Hawkins, star defensive end, comes out of retirement to play for the Washington Wolves.
Which is perfectly fine by Ava Baker—it makes her job as publicist for the team easier.
There’s only two problems. This particular football player was her first crush.
The bigger problem: Matthew Hawkins was once engaged to her older sister.
It’s been ten years since Ava has seen Matthew. He’s bigger, better looking, and best of all—completely single. Despite his history with her sister, the attraction between Ava and Matthew isn’t so one-sided anymore.
It’s hot enough to burn down the entire city of Seattle.
But this headline is far more complicated to write. And not just for the press or what it means for her family— because once her heart is involved, there’s no predicting the ending.
I read the first book about the Washington Wolves football team a few months ago and liked that story, but I loved this book! I liked that there's already history between Ava and Matthew, even though the last time they saw each other wasn't a happy occasion. Being in the same orbit again after a decade has Matthew seeing Ava as the accomplished and beautiful woman she is now. Matthew is the one person who really knew what it was like for Ava growing up, with the way her parents and older sister always treated her. The chemistry between them is pretty hot, but it's also a slow-build romance between them.
Well, let’s see ... I’m a wife and a mother. If the things that I write bring a smile to someone's face, then I've done my job. I am obsessed with Outlander (both the books and the show). I’m almost exclusively a romance reader, which means some people will never consider me a literary snob. If I could meet one historical figure, it would be Jane Austen. I received my Bachelors in Public Relations and worked in health care marketing before I had my babies. I hate Twitter. I do it, but I hate it. Also, if you want to get on my good side, bring me wine and I'll love you forever.

This looks super fun! And with the last few months I've had, fun is exactly what I need. I've been looking into more sport romance novels *ugh, I am wording that badly but my brain is completely off today* so thanks for sharing!
