Play & Pretend (Book 2 The Coastal Try Series)
Seren Davis is done putting herself last.
As a single mom returning to professional rugby after over two years away, she has everything to prove: to her new team, to the world, and to the part of herself that still wonders if motherhood cost her the woman she used to be.
Jake Ledger is the last distraction she needs.
Charming, funny, and dangerously easy to want, the Knights’ playboy fullback is also her brother’s teammate—which makes him completely off-limits. But Jake doesn’t just flirt with Seren. He shows up. For her bad days, her comeback, and the little boy who makes him feel something he’s never had before: chosen.
They call it friendship. Harmless. Easy. Pretend.
With careers, family, and a child’s heart on the line, falling for real could cost them everything.
But how long can they keep playing pretend?
Try & Resist (Book 1 The Coastal Try Series)
When a devastating earthquake destroys the Knights’ stadium, Captain Connor O’Riley is left scrambling to hold his team, and their season, together. With no pitch, no facilities, and mounting pressure, there’s only one option left: ask the women’s rugby team for help.
Valkyries captain Teddy Sloane has spent her entire career fighting for space in a sport that never made room for her. Now, just as her team steps into their first professional season with a brand-new stadium, she’s expected to share it with the very person who always gets her blood boiling.
Forced into a tense partnership, Connor and Teddy must put aside years of rivalry to lead their teams to success. But clashing personalities, bruised pride, and undeniable chemistry make every compromise harder than the last.
Sometimes the biggest battles aren’t fought on the pitch… they’re fought between two people who refuse to back down.
Collide (Book 5)
Jay
This wasn’t the plan. I was supposed to be photographing NFL sidelines, athletes in their prime. Instead I’m working a job that pays the bills and nothing more. Then Liv Matthews barrels into my life and suddenly I’ve got a roommate. She’s real, unfiltered and nothing like the calm I thought I wanted, but somehow she’s the first thing that’s made this place feel alive again. I promised myself I wouldn’t fall for her.
But promises don’t mean much when she’s already in every part of my world.
Liv
I came to Cedar Lakes to start over, not to collide with the guy who made room for me when he didn’t have to. Jay Oliviera is patient in all the ways I’m not. He doesn’t push. He just shows up again and again, until I start to believe I deserve that kind of love. But new chances have a way of pulling people in opposite directions, and I can’t tell if this is where it ends—or where it finally begins.
Sometimes the right person doesn’t save you. They just stand still long enough for you to find yourself again.
Riptide (Book 4)
Finn:
I came home to forget the ocean. To forget what it took from me. Surfing used to be everything, until it became the thing I couldn’t survive. Now, I’m stuck in my hometown, dodging questions, helping my twin sister by looking after my niece. All the while, pretending I’ve got a plan. A hookup app was supposed to be just a distraction. Nothing serious. But then I met Foxx. He’s smart, serious and hot as hell. I swiped right without knowing he’d wreck me in the best possible way.
Foxx:
After my divorce, I built a life I could manage. It was quiet, structured and safe. Numbers always made sense to me hence my job as a math Professor. People though? Not so much. Especially not flirty blond surfers who crash into my life with too many secrets and no right to make me feel this alive. I told myself it was just one night. But Finn pulls me out of my head in ways I haven’t let anyone do in years. And when I realize he’s not just a hookup, but one of my students in my night classes? The line I swore I wouldn’t cross blurs fast and I’m caught up in a riptide.
Pieces (Book 3)
Hudson
Football has always been my future. I play hard, I have fun, and I never let anything throw me off course.
And then I met her. Daphne James. One night, no strings. Just her laughter, her lips, and the way she made me forget everything else. But by the next morning, she was gone.
Or so I thought.
Turns out, she’s a freshman here at Cedar Lakes. And when I find out her dad is my coach, staying away isn’t just smart, it’s survival. He’s made it clear that his daughter is off-limits. One wrong move, and I could lose everything I’ve worked for.
Until I can’t. Because she’s pregnant. With my kid.
I’ve spent my whole life chasing one dream. But suddenly, my future isn’t just mine anymore.
Daphne
For one night, I wanted to be reckless, to feel something outside of the pressure of being perfect. Hudson was supposed to be a secret, a memory. But secrets have a way of finding you again.
Two pink lines changed everything. And the last person I expected to see at Cedar Lakes was him, the guy who unknowingly changed my whole future.
We’re strangers and I never expected him to stick around. Yet he isn’t walking away. He’s persistent, funny, frustratingly charming, and refusing to let me do this alone.
Hudson might be everything I never planned for, but he’s also the one thing I might not be able to live without.
Fragile (Book 2)
Quinn
I have been in love with my brother’s best friend for as long as I can remember.
And he has no idea.
He doesn’t see me the way I see him. He doesn’t see past the platonic friendship we’ve built since we were little. Miles Cooper is destined for greatness, on the path to NFL glory, only behind his superstar facade hides a dark secret.
One I never thought possible.
Now, he needs me in a way that could break my naive heart. But isn’t it better to have loved and lost than never loved at all?
Miles
I’ve got my entire future ahead of me, meticulously planned right to the second I graduate.
Until suddenly, it’s not.
I’m drowning, sinking fast into deep waters. The only life preserver, my best friend’s little sister.
Quinn Dawson is good and kind and sweet, and the more time I spend with her, the more I notice things I’ve not seen before.
She’s the calm to my storm, the light in the dark. The only one who sees how fragile I really am.
But will she still love my broken pieces when she discovers my secret?
I want to be worthy of her, I’m just not sure I am.
Trouble (Book 1)
I’ve always been the girl who wasn’t worth the trouble, but once upon a time he made me believe I was worth more.
Indie
I might be going to the college of my dreams with only my violin and a few hundred dollars to my name, but I’ll work harder than any student they’ve ever had, and nothing will stop me. Cedar Lakes University is how I turn my life around.
As my future begins to unravel, I’m slowly realizing that my plan has flaws. A math class I can’t pass and the boy I wish I could forget. As luck would have it, he’s the only one who can help me. One summer he walked away from me and now he’s my tutor. The school’s quarterback, Sebastian Dawson. He’s a pro at getting under my skin, making me feel things I don’t have time to feel.
But the more time I spend with him, the more he makes my head spin.
Can I pass the class without falling for his charms again?
Seb
Not a day goes by where I don’t wish that summer ended differently, but I had promises to keep and obligations to fulfil.
I’ve never forgotten her and now, I’ve got another chance. Only problem is her walls are up, and I have to scale them once again. So, when the opportunity to help her falls into my lap, there’s no way I can say no. I want to show her that I’m not the guy she thinks I am.
I’ll do anything to show her that she’s worth the trouble.

Hence my list.
Except nowhere on that list did it say “fall in love with Grayson King.”
He’s irritating, he’s infuriating and devastatingly gorgeous.
The only problem is he doesn’t want forever, he’s only after right now, and for some reason he’s hell bent on helping me complete my list.
But with every task we complete, the more I start to fall for his charms. I’m playing into his game and I don’t know that I can resist him anymore.
How is my heart supposed to cope when I know there’s only one way this can end?

So when he proposes a mutually beneficial arrangement that comes with a Tiffany ring and an apartment overlooking the Thames River, I find myself saying yes.
Our only stipulation; no falling for each other.
