RELEASE DATE:July 11,

GENRE: NA contemporary
romance
SYNOPSIS:
When
soccer all-star Jax Avery collides with Dani Hart on his twenty-first birthday,
their connection is instantaneous and explosive. For the first time
in years, Jax isn’t interested in his usual hit-it and quit-it approach.
But
Dani knows better. Allowing herself a night to be carefree and feel the
intensity of their attraction won’t change anything when it comes to dealing
with a player. So when Jax doesn’t recognize Dani the next time he sees her, it
shouldn’t be a total shock. The fact that he’s her new roommate's brother?
That’s a shock.
Dani
doesn’t regret that night with Jax, just the need to lie about it. Since her
roommate has made it clear what she thinks about her brother’s “type” of girl,
the last thing Dani wants is to admit what happened.
Jax
knows he’s walking a fine line on the soccer team. One more misstep and he’s
off the roster, his plans to go pro be damned. Except he can’t seem to care.
About anything… except for the one girl who keeps invading his dreams.
Despite
Jax’s fuzzy memory of his hot hookup with his sister’s friend, he can’t stay
away from her, even if that means breaking his own rules. But there are bigger
forces at work–realities that can end Dani’s college career and lies that can
tear them apart.
Jax
realizes what he’s losing if Dani walks away, but will he sacrifice his future
to be with her? And will she let him if he does?

EXCERPT:
Reid
and Ashley disappear as I get lost in his kiss. We stand there while bodies
crash around us to the music, and I’m caught against him like a wave breaking
on the beach.
I
don’t know what possessed me to kiss this guy out of the blue and pretend that
we were somehow together. Right now, I’m blaming the three apple martinis. I
just couldn’t stand one more interaction with Reid where I stammered like some
kind of loser.
Am I
imagining it or did I just tell off my ex? It’s hard to think clearly when I’m
pressed up against this beautiful creature. I trail my hands up along his tall
frame, dipping the tips of my fingers against the hard ridges and planes of his
chest. He looks good in clothes, but the thought of what he looks like without
anything on does delicious things to my body. I try to burn the sensation of
what he feels like into my memory.
When
we finally pull back for air, we stop to look at each other. And then we laugh.
“Holy
shit.” I put my hand to my mouth, for the first time embarrassed that I’ve been
trying to swallow him whole for the last five minutes. “Hi.”
He
grins back. “Hi.”
I
don’t hear him so much as read his lips, which I can appreciate now that my
mouth isn’t sealed against them. His head slants as though he’s pondering some
deep thought, like maybe how he spent the last few minutes locking tongues with
a crazy girl who doesn’t even know him.
And
then my world slows down as I realize who he is.
Holy
shit. It’s the sexy guy from the pizza place.
