The Striker (Gods of the Game, 1)

Description

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ana Huang comes The Striker, the first book in a new sports romance series called Gods of the Game Series about forbidden attraction, old wounds and two people who were never supposed to fall for each other.

Asher Donovan is one of the biggest names in football, a Premier League star whose talent is matched only by his reputation for controversy. After a feud with his rival-turned-teammate costs their team a championship, the two are ordered to spend the off-season cross-training together.

Then Asher meets their new trainer, Scarlett DuBois.

Scarlett is a former prima ballerina whose career was cut short by a devastating accident. Now teaching at a prestigious dance academy, she is still carrying the weight of what she lost and has no interest in getting involved with a footballer.

Especially not Asher.

He is charming, impossible to ignore and, most importantly, her brother’s rival. When circumstances leave Asher and Scarlett spending more time together than either expected, their attraction becomes increasingly difficult to resist.

Training is one thing. Falling in love with the one person who could break every rule, and possibly her heart, is something else entirely.
