The Defender (Gods of the Game Book 2)

He has to play by the rules . . . but for her, he'd break them all.

As the captain of Blackcastle Football Club and one of the highest-paid athletes in the game, Vincent DuBois should be on top of the world.
​
But when his fame brings danger to his doorstep, he finds himself in his worst nightmare scenario - secretly sharing a flat with his coach's daughter, knowing full well she's far too big a temptation for him to resist.
​
When his new living arrangements escalate into a bet that throws them even closer together, he realizes he's in deeper trouble than he thought.
​
He's always played to win - but for her, he might just risk it all.

As a sports nutritionist and the daughter of a legendary coach, Brooklyn Armstrong is used to dealing with hotshot athletes.
​
However, no player gets under her skin like Vincent, her best friend's infuriatingly cocky (and gorgeous) brother. She left California hoping for a fresh start, and he's the kind of distraction she doesn't need.
​
Now, he's sleeping in the room next to hers while her career is up in the air and her defenses are crumbling.
​
But no matter how many sparks fly between them, a relationship between the captain and the coach's daughter could never work . . . could it?
