Even one-night stands deserve a second chance in New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dykenβs novel of sporting desire.
What else can a virgin do when sheβs ditched at the altar? Seattle heiress Mackenzie Dupont is treating herself to a single-girl honeymoon in Mexico and a desire to relinquish her innocence to a gorgeous one-night stand. Fake names. True pleasure. But when she wakes up alone, Mackenzie realizes just how much anger is left in her broken heart.
Suffering a tragic personal loss, pro soccer player Slade Rodriguez has his reasons for vanishing without a goodbye. Right or wrong, heβs blaming the beautiful and infuriating stranger he never wants to see again. Theyβre both in for a shock when Mackenzie shows up as his new personal assistant. And they both have a lot to learn about each other. Because they share more than they could possibly know, including a common enemy whoβs playing his own games. And heβs not afraid to get dirty.
Now thereβs only one way Mackenzie and Slade can win: to trust in each other and to stop hiding from the lies theyβve told, the secrets theyβve kept, the mistakes theyβve made, and the attraction that still burns between them.
