New York Times bestselling author, K. Bromberg, brings you a romance about love, forgiveness, and living every day to the fullest.


I know finding and signing a military vet to the agency is a long shot--but it'll be good press just letting him try out. That's what I tell my family, rather than admit I can't get the letter he wrote us five years ago out of my head.


But what I tell the bartender in his hometown is a lie. I know veterans protect each other. So I pretend to be a graduate student.


Sparks. Flame. Fire. I accidentally got in too deep.


I didn't expect to develop feelings for Gunner Camden.


And there's no way I can admit to my lies now, not without destroying what we share. So I'll keep faking it.


***

There are two versions of me: before, and after deployment.


Back then I was a screwup kid. I'd lie, cheat, and steal my way out of everything. My only love was baseball.


After I started fighting, I found out there had been another path for me. One that involved my dream. But by then I had seen too much.


The old me was dead, so I put my dreams to rest, too.


Then Chase Kinkade walks into my bar and reminds me that life is meant to live. No regrets.


Fresh. Happy. Hopeful. I can start to see a new dream, with her.


But sometimes things are too good to be true... and dishonesty is the one thing I can't forgive.




Are you ready to fall for the Kincade sisters and the men who love them in K. Bromberg's sexy, contemporary, sports romance series? These books can all be read as standalones, but you'll enjoy reading them as a series! Hard to Handle (Hunter & Dekker's story - hockey romance) Hard to Hold (Rush & Lennox''s story - soccer romance) Hard to Score (Drew & Brexton's story - football romance) Hard to Lose (Gunner & Chase's story - baseball romance) Hard to Love (Finn & Stevie's story)
