Playing To Win

In Playing To Win by Monica Murphy, readers are thrust into the whirlwind world of university life, where the stakes are high both on and off the field. Amidst the excitement, Ace Townsend stands out as the college's newest and most talked-about quarterback for The Golden Eagles football team, drawing everyone's attention with his undeniable charisma and athletic prowess.

Enter our protagonist, a determined and talented member of the social media crew for the football team. Despite her best efforts to stay professional, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Ace. His confident swagger and charming demeanour make it nearly impossible to resist his allure, even as she navigates the complexities of her roles and responsibilities.

The real dilemma arises from a strict contract she signed upon accepting her job, which includes a 'no dating athletes' clause. This not only places all players, including Ace, firmly out of bounds but also threatens her career should she dare to cross that line. Yet, Ace's determination to win her heart challenges her resolve, putting everything she has worked for at risk as she contemplates if being together with him is worth jeopardising her professional future.

As sparks fly and the tension escalates, Playing To Win explores themes of love, ambition, and the tough choices that come with balancing personal happiness against professional integrity. Monica Murphy weaves a compelling narrative that keeps readers engaged from start to finish, rooting for the protagonists to find a way to win both on the field and in love.

Requested a price match on a weekend day expecting to hear back on the Monday, but I got a response from Dylan just a few hours later, put through my order and the books were here Tuesday!
