Blitzed: A Football Romance (The Alpha Ballers Book 3)


Lucy Snow - 2016
    That goes doubly so when you’re a pro football player and her father owns the team. But what do you do if she can’t stay away? Hudson Asher Mackenzie Mayfield is smart, interesting and the hottest girl I've ever seen. She's also the daughter of my team’s owner and a front office executive. And she's entirely off limits. For both reasons. The trouble is, she won’t leave me alone. And I can’t stay away from her either, not after I’ve saved her from something horrible. But how can we get together when we work together? The rule says I'm not supposed to date anyone at work. I'm definitely not supposed to undress Mackenzie with my eyes and with my hands every time she looks at me. All I want is to help my team win a championship. But in the meantime, I’m in danger of losing my heart to Mackenzie Mayfield. Mackenzie Mayfield Hudson Asher’s been on my father’s team for a decade. He’s a hulking beast of a man who destroys his opponents on the field. All I can think of when I see him are the naughty things I want him to do to me. After saving me from something terrible, I try and return the favor, but something is holding us both back from each other. I just hope I can find out what it is in time. Blitzed is book 3 of the Alpha Ballers series, but can be read standalone. It is 62,000 words long and contains an HEA with no cliffhanger. *This is not a football heavy story, but unlike other football romances, there is an attempt to get the facts correct, so if you're not into sports, don't worry! It's medium on the sports and heavy on the steam!*
