It was a no-brainer.

I was forbidden to him and him to me.

But when we met at his nightclub, I thought he was my prince charming.

I couldn’t fight my attraction to the tattooed Russian god, any more than he could for me.

Dante Levitsky is tall, dark and dangerously handsome with Mediterranean blue eyes you could swim in forever.

Our chemistry is the type people read about and wish for their whole lives.

After the accident a year ago that nearly stole my life, he felt like my second chance at living.

Saying no to a secret relationship when he asked me felt like losing a limb.

So, I agreed, thinking it was the best idea ever.

Until it wasn’t. And I find out he lied.

Then his dark secrets slapped me in the face.

Secrets and plans for retribution against my father that will turn my world upside down.

I wasn’t supposed to fall for the villain.

But at the time I didn’t know he was my enemy.

Or that I would become his new obsession.

He’s the monster I never saw coming and he plans to take everything.

Including me.

Evangeline

Once upon a time, there was a princess who fell in love with her Prince Charming.

Well, scratch that line because that’s a load of crap.

Fairy tales don’t exist, and mistakes have consequences; the life-altering kind.

To fix what my family broke, I have to marry the highest bidder.

My heart is not my own to give anymore.

Nor is my freedom.

When my glass slipper fell off my foot, it wasn’t my prince presenting it to me.

It was my rich, cocky, smug-looking neighbour.

Chester Boyd is one of the reasons why I’ll soon be called wife by another man.

And he’s no prince. But bloody charming?

That he is, and my heart might end up favouring the enemy more.

Chester

Once upon a time, there was a prince who didn’t want to get married.

I figured out soon enough that marriage is nothing but a trap.

And it’s definitely not going to catch me.

I’ll live my life wild, free, and uninterrupted.

But fate has always been twisted, and the princess I met at a ball was no other than Evangeline Clairwater.

My enemy’s sister.

My new neighbour.

And the woman I can’t stop thinking about.

The only problem is that I don’t do marriage. And my princess ... well, she’s promised to another man.

Amara

Tyler Collins has always been the object of my affection. He just doesn’t know it.

I’ve spent years admiring him, fantasizing about him, but never once making a move.

That is until I see him across the room, already a few beers in and drunkenly decide to press my lips to his. One minute I’m sharing a drink with a friend, and the next, I’m Kissing My Crush.

Now I’m trapped at a beautiful resort with the man I so desperately want to avoid, to celebrate the nuptials of our dear friends.

I can feel his eyes on me. He’s watching. Waiting for what I’m not sure. The fear of rejection is too strong for me to mention the kiss. That night is on constant replay in my mind. I often wonder how he would react if I could confess that to me, our kiss was not a drunken mistake.

Tyler

Quiet, sweet Amara, the one woman I never expected to crave and the one I can’t seem to shake. One unexpected kiss, and now all I can think about is her lips pressed to mine.

I’ve managed to avoid attachments, keeping things casual and enjoying one day at a time. Yet, a timid blonde marches across a hazy bar and grabs hold of my hair, giving me the kiss that changes it all. Changes me.

She wants to pretend it never happened, but I never was much for playing games. She might want me to believe the kiss was forgettable, but we both know better. Hands down the hottest kiss of my life.

That moment with her wasn’t nothing. It was everything.

It was the turning point and the start of something I know without a doubt will be more than we both ever could have expected.

Genre: Contemporary Sports Romance

Tropes: Second Chance/Fake Relationship

Release Date: May 18, 2023

BLURB

What’s a woman to do when she’s faced with the impossible decision to give an old flame a second chance?

Shore up her defenses to ward off his charms, of course.

Once upon a time, Merrick Jovanovitch was my everything. I fell fast and hard and forever. Then, I pushed him away. The end.

He’s suddenly back in my life, the newest addition to my fresh-start city’s football team. When I’m blackmailed by a vicious wife of one of Merrick’s teammates to help the team land a reality TV series, I don’t have the option to run from my problems this time. The secret I’ve been keeping from Merrick for three long years needs to stay where it belongs—in the past. With pressure mounting on my unsteady shoulders, I need a release valve to keep juggling all these very fragile plates.

Enter jagoff42. Yeah. That’s…an online handle from a language-learning app.

I know it sounds bananas but hear me out. My internet pen pal is the only man for this job because he’s a third-party bystander with no skin in the game. I don’t have to worry about him getting hurt or spilling my deepest, darkest secrets to anyone. Because we’ve never actually met.

No, I don’t know his real name.

No, I don’t know if he’s a creepy old dude.

No, I don’t know if he lives in his mother’s basement.

He’s only ever told me that he’s close. So, yeah. He’s probably creepy.

The only problem with all these brilliant plans? To land the new reality series for the team, Merrick and I have to rekindle our relationship. For the cameras. That’s fine. As long as I remember all of our kisses are for show, I can get through this.

Even though he lights my body up like a five-alarm fire.

Even though more and more of our kisses are in private instead of in public.

Even though I swore to myself that I’d never give my heart away again.

Merrick can’t be my happily ever after. I walked away the first time for a reason. Right?
