THE STRIKER

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, but his reckless behaviour and recent transfer have become a PR nightmare. When a feud with his rival-turned-teammate costs them the championship, the pair are forced to "bond" during off-season training. Surviving the summer shouldn't be hard ...
until Asher meets their new trainer. She's beautiful, talented, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't take his mind off her. The only problem ? She's his rival's sister, and completely off limits. Scarlett DuBois is a former prima ballerina whose career was cut short by a tragic accident. Now a teacher at a prestigious dance academy, but still haunted by the ghosts of her past, the last thing she wants is to spend the summer cross-training Asher Donovan.
She swore she would never date a footballer again, but when she's thrown into dangerously close proximity with the gorgeous, charming striker, all bets are off. Training, she can deal with. But falling in love ? That's out of the question, especially when he's the only person with the power to break her heart.
