About the book

She’s forbidden, infuriating, and the one woman I can’t stop wanting.

Rule #1 of being an NFL player: Never fall for the coach's daughter.

I don't do relationships. Ever. But when Coach's daughter proposes a no-strings arrangement, all my rules fly out the window.

Nikki Denton is untouchable—the ice princess of the LA Wolves organization and definitely off-limits according to her father. She's also nothing like the women I usually hook up with.

Controlled. Composed. Complicated.

But when she suggests becoming friends with benefits, I find myself breaking my one-and-done rule for the first time. What starts as just sex quickly becomes something more, especially as I discover the woman beneath her perfect facade.

Now I'm risking my career and my heart for a woman who puts her family's happiness before her own. The smart thing would be to walk away.

Too bad I've never been very smart when it comes to Nikki Denton.

Down by Contact is a steamy enemies to lovers sports romance. It’s book 3 in the LA Wolves Football series but can be read as a standalone.

Why you may love it

Matt Fischer + Nikki Denton

Set in Los Angeles / Southern California

Wolves marketing manager Nikki Denton is assigned to a campaign featuring Matt Fischer, the tight end she cannot stand. After her engagement ends, she proposes a frenemies-with-benefits arrangement: she can hardly stand him, but his reputation for being good in bed and avoiding emotional attachment makes him an appealing choice for sex without strings. Working together already puts them in close quarters; keeping their growing relationship from her father, the head coach, makes the arrangement far more complicated than either intended.

For readers who want the coach’s daughter, a reformed playboy, and enemies forced to work together before they agree to keep things casual. Nikki directs Matt’s marketing campaign, but neither can control what happens when their private arrangement begins to matter.
