"The Game Plan has pulse-pounding sex and stomach-twisting emotion. I fell in love with the hero by chapter one, straight into all-out lust by chapter two." —Tessa Bailey, #1 New York Times bestselling author
A beard-related dare and one hot-as-hell kiss changes everything.
NFL center Ethan Dexter’s focus has always been on playing football and little else. Except when it comes to one particular woman. The lovely Fiona Mackenzie might not care about his fame, but she’s also never looked at him as anything more than one of her brother-in-law’s best friends. That ends now.
Fi doesn’t know what to make of Dex. The bearded, tattooed mountain of man-muscle looks more like a biker than a football player. Rumor has it he’s a virgin, but she finds that hard to believe. Because from the moment he decides to turn his quiet intensity on her, she’s left weak at the knees and aching to see his famous control fully unleashed.
Fi ought to guard her heart and walk away; they live vastly different lives in separate cities. And Dex is looking for a forever girl. But Dex has upped his game and is using all his considerable charm to convince Fi he’s her forever man.
"The Game Plan should come with a reader advisory: Beware, your ovaries will explode at about the 2% mark, and you will not stop sighing Dex's name." —Sarina Bowen, New York Times bestselling author
