Spring Break is about having fun and a steamy friend with benefits relationship for Maddie and Cameron until they realise they might be falling in love. This BookTok sensation is perfect for fans of Hannah Grace's Icebreaker and Tessa Bailey's spicy romcoms.

She's playing the field.

He's playing for keeps . . .

Cameron's a hot NFL prospect, and a total player on and off the field. But his moves don't seem to work on Maddie. While she once crushed on him hard, that has since faded. She's got big plans of her own and they don't include him.

Maddie is finally playing the field until Spring Break turns her plans—and feelings—upside down. Cameron, who happens to be her WAY overprotective brother's BFF, is always around and it becomes harder to ignore him.

Unable to hide their feelings, Cameron and Maddie become friends...with benefits and sneak around behind her brother's back. But when their feelings become a little more complicated, they are faced with a decision: one that will change their life playbooks for good . . .

Angsty, fun and spicy, Playmaker is Behind the Net meets The Summer I Turned Pretty.

About the Author

Deanna Faison is a twenty-seven-year-old romance author residing in Clayton, North Carolina, where she writes from home full-time. If she's not hunched over her laptop creating bad boy heartthrobs and independent female leads, she's likely chasing her Marvel-obsessed four-year-old around the house or cheering on the Baltimore Ravens with her husband. She hopes to someday have her books sold in stores around the world so she can travel and meet the readers who have made her success possible.
