Stuck With You: An Enemies to Lovers Romance


Abigail Graham - 2019
     Jocks? No thanks. Football? I don't know a touchback from a tight end and I don't care to. So of course someone calls in a favor and sticks me with Tyler Sinclair, gridiron god, big man on campus, star quarterback with a million watt smile, a body to die for, and an attitude as big as his... reputation. Now he's my problem. He needs me to graduate and I need him to stop driving me insane. I can't have a simple conversation with him without getting into an argument... or getting hot under the collar. I can't stand him and I can't keep my hands off him. When he's not making this difficult he's making me melt. One more lewd suggestion whispered in my ear might be all I need. Worse than that, he might not be the man I thought he was. We might be more alike than I realized. I might be falling for him, but loving Tyler might cost him his future and cost me my career. We have everything on the line, but love doesn't care. Stuck With You is a standalone romantic comedy with a jerk jock with a heart of gold, a sassy heroine, and an HEA.
