A one‑night stand, agreed on by both parties, was supposed to be just that. One night.
The next day, when Magnolia Baker walked into the first practice for her last season of professional soccer with the Cowgirls, she expected it to go smoothly. She was a veteran player, nothing surprised her anymore.
At least, until her one‑night stand walks through the door.
Her new boss, Beaufort "Beau" Vanderbilt.
The man that set her blood on fire, and made words stutter from her mouth.
For eight months, they fight the connection, acting like they don't feel a thing for each other.
Then tragedy hits Beau's life, and she forgets that she's supposed to remain professional. She forgets that she's supposed to be the player and him the owner.
Lines are crossed, and soon, they can't hide a thing from the people around them.
But Beau's only a partial owner of the team she desperately needs to play with to remain hidden from her previous life. The other half‑owner is dead set on tearing them apart and making an example out of her. An example that will be a bright, shining warning flag to all future players to never follow in her footsteps.
Not if they want to ever play professional soccer again.
