Playing Hard To Get

From the TikTok sensation, and New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy, comes a scorching sports romance that will leave your heart racing and begging for more.

The Golden Eagles football team is renowned for its tough players and electrifying games, but none shine brighter than star player Knox Maguire. Knox is not just the King of the campus; he's the heartbeat and pride of the team. With his undeniable charm and exceptional talent, everyone wants a piece of him. Yet, while Knox is adored by all, there are some who remain in the shadows, unnoticed and unappreciated.

Enter our protagonist, an academically sharp yet socially invisible student who becomes Knox's English tutor. This arrangement is supposed to be purely professional, but Knox's magnetic presence makes it hard to keep things strictly business. The library sessions quickly turn from academic to a heated dance of flirty exchanges and simmering sexual tension.

As the line between work and play begins to blur, both characters come face to face with their undeniable attraction to each other. Knox's candid confession that he can't stop thinking about her awakens a realization—she feels the same way. What starts as a forbidden liaison soon evolves into a full-blown love affair that consumes them both. Nights of passion and days brimming with stolen glances and secret rendezvous bring them closer, blurring the boundaries of their own personal worlds. She finds herself drawn deeper into Knox's charismatic orbit, falling for him harder than she ever planned.

But as the pressure of Knox's burgeoning football career intensifies, so do the insecurities and questions. Is Knox playing a game with her heart, or could this be the real thing? With school, sports, and social expectations churning around them, can their love stand the test of reality?

Playing Hard To Get is a steamy, gripping tale of attraction, trust, and the quest to understand if love can truly conquer all, especially when your heart is pitted against the unpredictability of life.
