About the Authors:
USA Today and internationally bestselling author Lauren Rowe lives in San Diego, California, where, in addition to writing books, she performs with her dance/party band at events all over Southern California, writes songs, takes embarrassing snapshots of her ever-patient Boston terrier, Buster, spends time with her wonderful family, and narrates audiobooks. Much to Lauren’s thrill, her books have been translated all over the world in multiple languages and hit multiple domestic and international bestseller lists. With enticing characters, enthralling situations and a general love of romantic fiction, Lauren has created a world of her own, full of wit and sensual desire.
Lena Hendrix is a USA Today and Amazon Top 5 Bestselling contemporary romance author living in the Midwest. Her love for romance started with sneaking racy Harlequin paperbacks and now she writes her own hot-as-sin small town romance novels. Lena has a soft spot for strong alphas with marshmallow insides, heroines who clap back, and sizzling tension. Her novels pack in small town heart with a whole lotta heat.
When she’s not writing or devouring new novels, you can find her hiking, camping, fishing, and sipping a spicy margarita!
Pre-orders will receive a signed bookplate, an exclusive sticker sheet, and a character art card.
Rudy meets Moneyball in a sexy yet warm-hearted, second-chance football romance for fans of Sarah Adams, Tessa Bailey, Monica Murphy, Kristen Callihan, and Lucy Score, as the analytical, math-nerd, type-A daughter of a tough love coach is assigned to babysit the team's adrenaline junkie pass rusher.
**DELUXE LIMITED EDITON with interior 4-color character art, designed chapter headers, and stenciled edges!**
Chelsea Parker, 26, knows football, thanks to growing up with a football coach for a father and two linebackers for brothers. But Chelsea's true passion has always been math: crunching numbers to predict statistical outcomes for everything from football to stocks to romance. Chelsea dreams of merging her two passions to become the first female head of analytics for an NFL team. But for now, she's got to convince the powers-that-be at her father's new team, the Mastodons, the worst in the NFL, to give her that entry-level position in the front office.
Luca Maguire, 26, a pass rusher and adrenaline junkie with a famous last name, knows this upcoming training camp with his new team, the Mastodons, will likely be his last, if he can't get out of his own way long enough to make the cut. The dire nature of his circumstances is the only reason Luca didn't quit on the spot when Coach Parker assigned his daughter, Chelsea, a statistics-loving, spreadsheet-making math nerd, as Luca's "personal coach" for the duration of camp. More like his babysitter, if you ask Luca.
Well, okay, Luca didn't quit for that reason and another one: the thing that happened seven years ago between Luca and Chelsea as strangers, when Luca's college football team stayed at the same hotel as Chelsea's mathletes squad. Luca would never admit this to Chelsea, especially not with her being Coach's daughter and the newly assigned bane of his existence, but the truth is Luca hasn't stopped thinking about that cute little mathlete who ditched his ass seven years ago, right before their clothes came off, ever since.

After anonymously flirting online, sparks fly IRL between a tattooed playboy and a no-nonsense business manager in bestselling author Lena Hendrix's spicy, emotional, deeply romantic standalone Kings novel set in small town, coastal Michigan. Perfect for fans of Lucy Score, Elsie Silver, Carley Fortune, and B.K. Borison!
*DELUXE LIMITED EDITION PAPERBACK featuring stenciled edges, holographic foil, designed interior covers, chapter headers, and full color special character art!*
Royal King is pure mischief wrapped in a cocky smirk and a heated stare.
Five minutes in his small town and I knew he was going to be nothing but trouble. He's an arrogant, tattooed playboy with a secret, and I'm the woman tasked with quietly cleaning up his family's mess.
I never dreamed he could be the mysterious stranger behind my hidden, late-night messages.
It doesn't matter what he says or how hard he tries to get under my skin. I won't break. Not for him. Not for anyone. But when our secrets are exposed, all bets are off.
He knows the rules--just a little fun exploration. Nothing more. But one lesson leads to another . . . and another . . . and soon I realize that he's set out to break every rule I've ever put into place.
I refuse to find myself melting under his gaze or swooning at the way he makes the noise around us quieter.
I can handle men like him.
Everything will be fine as long as we can keep this just between us.
