About the book
He’s meant to be out there on the rugby field, not messing around with me.
I never thought I could feel such intense hatred towards another person. Then I got the job of looking after the fresh face of the Royals, and realized just how wrong I was.
My task seemed simple enough. Keep the arrogant player in line and out of trouble. But it’s hard to do when all I can think about is suffocating him with his own jersey.
Every day brings a new reason to loathe Gray Adler. His massive truck is as loud as a whale, and he honks the horn like it’s a weapon. And no, that’s not an exaggeration. He can’t utter a sentence without being rude. And to top it off, the universe, in its twisted humor, gave that tattooed troublemaker the body of a Greek god.
Just when I thought I had come to terms with hating him, things take a different turn.
An intense, electrifying, I-can’t-do-this-with-a-coworker kind of turn.
Suddenly, his rough touch sends shivers down my spine. His cocky smirks turn into genuine smiles just for me. And our bickering evolves into something much deeper than expected.
But Gray Adler is keeping secrets. And when those hidden truths collide with my fragile heart, I find myself pondering a crucial question. Is he finally being honest with me, or am I still being manipulated?
