Roughing the Passer

He's the golden boy of the PFA. She's the journalist hired to destroy him.

Sloane Hayes has built a ruthless reputation at the premier sports network, ASN, by dismantling the careers of arrogant athletes. When her boss assigns her to embed with the Seattle Surge for three weeks, she is given one absolute directive: find the dirt on Chase Maverick and write the hit piece of the decade.

Chase Maverick is the undisputed face of the league. At twenty-nine, the star quarterback is a seven-year veteran with a cannon for an arm and a heart of gold. He spends his free time stress-baking muffins and adopting rescue dogs. He's notoriously unproblematic-which only makes Sloane more determined to find the cracks in his perfect armor.

But forced proximity begins to blur the lines of Sloane's assignment. The more time she spends with the broad-shouldered quarterback, the more she realizes Chase isn't wearing a mask. His warmth is real. His loyalty is absolute. And the undeniable, electric chemistry between them is threatening to ruin everything Sloane has spent her entire life building.

When a catastrophic betrayal threatens to burn Chase's career to the ground, Sloane must choose between the job that defines her, and the man who changed the rules of the game.

Roughing the Passer is a dual-POV, reverse grumpy-sunshine sports romance. It is intended for mature audiences.
