Romance that’s dirty, flirty and deliciously irresistible
He's a sports star with a bad reputation, and she's an innocent charity worker who doesn't date. Neither wants to trust another person, yet the heat rises, and so do the risks in this enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract sports romance set in a small English town.
Sophia is a good girl who’s never taken a risk, had a passionate relationship, or done anything to upset those around her, including her ineffective boss and perfect mother. Everything changes the night she trips and falls into Aidan's arms.
Aidan is an Irish rugby star and painter with a reputation for trouble. He lives his life to the fullest and avoids commitment, knowing he might be carrying a hereditary disease that killed his dad. He’s cheeky, charming and used to getting what he wants. After one meeting, he’s sure he wants Sophia.
Sophia is torn between keeping Aidan at bay and fulfilling all the things she shouldn't want, while Aidan is faced with someone who challenges him, cares about him and sees beyond his bad-boy persona. But he must hold tight to his secrets or risk hurting the woman he's falling for. As the passion grows, so do the risks; after all, Aidan isn’t the only one with a secret.
