The Defender (Gods of the Game, 2)

Description

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ana Huang comes The Defender, an emotional and steamy sports romance about ambition, forced proximity and two people who know getting involved could complicate everything.

The Defender is Book 2 in the Gods of the Game series, but can be read as a standalone.

Vincent DuBois is captain of Blackcastle Football Club, one of the highest-paid players in the game and someone who has spent his entire life playing to win. But when his fame brings danger too close to home, he finds himself in an arrangement he never expected: secretly sharing a flat with his coach’s daughter.

Brooklyn Armstrong is a sports nutritionist trying to build a career of her own. She is also Vincent’s sister’s best friend, and she knows exactly how frustrating, cocky and distracting he can be.

Neither plans to blur the boundaries between them.

But when their new living arrangement turns into a bet that brings them even closer, the tension becomes much harder to ignore. Brooklyn is determined to protect her fresh start, while Vincent begins to realise that winning might mean taking a risk he never saw coming.

With careers, reputations and family connections on the line, falling for each other could be the one move neither of them can take back.
