False 9

A mouthy soccer stud virgin meets the secretive new girl on campus...The last time I got laid was... oh right. Never. The only game I have is on the soccer field, where I mostly exist to make my teammates look good. I don't get the glory or the girl, and in true Lavin Saint fashion, the first impression I make to the gorgeous new girl on campus is chair-crashingly, soul-crushingly bad. Bianca Santos seems undeterred and even intrigued by my inability to form coherent sentences around her, which is why it sucks when I find out she's my coach's niece. Off limits.Except Bianca doesn't listen to that memo, and the more she focuses on me with those beautiful brown eyes, the less I care about the real possibility of being relegated to the bench. So when I find out she's hiding something that's threatening her, I'm done playing passive defense. I'm on the offensive now, no matter the risk--my sport, my sanity, or my life.This time, I'm getting the glory. And the girl.False 9 is a standalone romantic comedy with some sports, a bit of action, and a whole lot of sarcasm. HEA and no cliffhanger.
