Double Team
Sabrina Paige - 2016
Two professional athletes. One giant scandal. They'll show her that two bad boys are better than one.
I can't stand arrogant bad boys - especially not when they're my loud, obnoxious new next-door neighbors. Not even when they come in muscled, tattooed, too-hot-for-their-own-good packages.
I'm a good girl - successful, responsible, and smart. I have to be - the eyes of the nation are on me.
I'm the daughter of the President of the United States.
Dating a filthy, cocky, possessive football player would be the ultimate scandal.
Falling in love with TWO arrogant athletes in the middle of my father's re-election campaign?
That would be another thing entirely. I’m twice as screwed.
Author's Note: This is a MFM ménage romance! So if you're not into the idea of two hot athletes falling head over heels for one girl, then take a pass on this one! There are no M/M scenes – this is all about the woman. There’s basically no football in here, either. But let’s be real - are you reading one of my books for the football? ;)
