In general, I’m not one for sports. I don’t find sitting in a stadium or on a
couch watching people pass a ball around exciting, but I do think the culture
around various sports is fascinating. I can only imagine how pressured players
feel before a big game or match, and the vast number of hours they usually
practice in a week is astounding. Though I don’t enjoy watching sports, I do
enjoy reading about them, and with football season upon us, I’m getting into
sports romances once again. From players on a team to individual competitors to
the people who own the teams, here are some recent sports romances that are
definitely worth checking out.

About:
The author of Risky Game returns with a football team owner who’s a real player,
and the woman who’s ready to call him out on everything . . .
Dot-com millionaire Jay McManus is discovering that owning a pro football team
like the Baltimore Blaze isn’t easy. An anonymous blogger is out to destroy his
reputation, and now his team is being sued by its own cheerleaders. If Jay’s not
careful, he could lose big—and not just financially.
Bridgett Janik’s brother may play for the Baltimore Blaze, but she’s not
thrilled to be defending Jay McManus, the man who broke her heart. It’s bad
enough she has to mingle with Jay during games, but working beside her former
lover may be too much for her body—and her heart—to resist.
Jay’s determined not to let Bridgett slip away from him a second time. But, as
the two follow the mysterious blogger’s trail, secrets—both past and present—are
revealed, and Jay and Bridgett must decide if their relationship can be
something more than just sleeping with the enemy.
