The Striker
A steamy sports romance set in the Premier League from Ana Huang, the bestselling author of the Twisted and Kings of Sin series.
Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! DescriptionThe new must-read steamy sports romance from Ana Huang, the bestselling author of the Twisted and Kings of Sin series.
She's the only woman he wants . . . and the only one he can't have.
Asher Donovan is a living legend—the darling of the Premier League and (arguably) the greatest footballer in the world. However, his reckless antics and recent team transfer have sparked controversy. When his feud with his new teammate, who was once his rival, leads to a catastrophic loss in the championship, they're given an ultimatum: bond during off-season cross-training or face severe consequences.
Surviving the summer should be manageable... until Asher meets their new trainer. She's not only beautiful and talented but also constantly on his mind. The catch? She is his rival's sister and is strictly off-limits.
Scarlett DuBois is a former prima ballerina whose promising career was tragically cut short by an accident. Now, she's a teacher at a prestigious dance academy, still haunted by the ghosts of her past. The last thing Scarlett wants is to spend her summer training Asher Donovan. She's vowed never to date a footballer, but when her brother leaves town for an emergency, she finds herself working closely with the charming, irresistible striker.
Training is one thing, but falling in love? That’s entirely different, especially when Asher is the only one who can break her heart.
