Description
From USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author Kandi Steiner comes a new edition of this #BestofBookTok standalone, angsty, enemies-to-lovers sports romance - bonus content included in this exclusive paperback edition!
Two season tickets. One genius idea. Zero interest in a relationship.
Gemma Mancini's plan is simple. Step one: find hot, preferably funny, and definitely single men. Step two: take a new guy to each home game for the rest of the football season. It's time for her to get back in the dating game, and besides, she can't think of a better way to use the season tickets she bought for her ex-husband.
It's a foolproof plan, until her bartender offers to be her practice round.
Zach Bowen is infuriating. Presumptuous, overbearing and absolutely, undeniably gorgeous.
He's determined to be Gemma's only date this season and is ready to do whatever it takes, even if that means sabotaging any of her potential matches.
But Gemma isn't ready for anything serious, no matter how charming she finds his antics. After all, Zach can try his best to change the rules, but he can't win if he's playing the wrong game.
