The Defender (Gods of the Game, 3)

Description

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ana Huang comes The Keeper, the third and final book in the Gods of the Game series, an emotional and steamy sports romance about a grumpy single dad and the one woman he never planned to let into his life.

Famed goalkeeper Noah Wilson has no interest in relationships or complications. Between his career and raising his daughter, he already has more than enough to handle. But with the World Cup approaching and a string of unsuccessful nannies behind him, he needs help.

Unfortunately, the best person for the job is also the woman he would rather keep at a distance.

Carina Vu has spent years working multiple jobs and saving for her childhood dream of travelling to Antarctica. When an unexpected emergency wipes out her savings, she urgently needs another source of income. Becoming Noah’s nanny may not be ideal, especially when she is convinced the brooding footballer cannot stand her, but it is her best option.

Carina quickly proves to be a natural with Noah’s daughter. And as she spends more time with them both, she begins to see beyond Noah’s gruff exterior.

Noah is equally determined to ignore his growing attraction to Carina. But with her becoming an increasingly important part of his world, resisting the one woman he should not want may prove much harder than he expected.
