Off His Game
Rugby league player Zac Fearon wants one thing - a quiet life. Kind of difficult when his sister has just dropped her two kids on his doorstep and disappeared into the ether. Not that the kids don't love his grumpy uncle vibe, but he's way out of his depth when it comes to child rearing. He needs professional help...
Former au pair and current layabout Izzy Holt wants one thing - a date to her sister's wedding. She's tired of being considered a loose cannon, and nothing says stability like a steady boyfriend - or the illusion of one at least. Too bad all her recent dates have left her cold. Except the one that lit her on fire... with fury.
When Izzy meets Zac again, she's more than keen to even the score, but it turns out he needs her... and he might just be the answer to her problem too.

Hot, grumpy heroes are my kryptonite. Only CCM could make me this interested in sport…

A steamy sports romance set in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Zac’s sister is going through some troubling times and unexpectedly dumps his niece and nephew on him. Zac is at a pivotal moment in his rugby league career and can’t afford time away so is in desperate need of a live in nanny. Reluctantly, Izzy, a sister in-law of a fellow sports colleague steps in. However, Zac and Izzy have a very brief but steamy past that ended abruptly.
A fabulous forced proximity, enemies to lovers, spicy read.

This is book 2 in an interconnected standalone series and has been my favourite so far. The dynamic of the MMC & FMC having had an almost sexual experience in the past meant there was tension from the get go.
I love how Courtney's books in this series while based around rugby players really show the emotion side of men and how they feel they need to potray themselves in society.

I've been a fan of all the books so far, but this has been one of my favourites. The tension of the two characters really builds, and you just beg for them to finally kiss! And when they do, it delivers. I'm looking forward to the next book!!!!

Another super readable, fun, swoony, STEAMY romance from Courtney. Sports romance + forced proximity + nanny and the single uncle. Izzy is such a great heroine and her personal journey is so satisfying to read. And Zac is basically a big teddy bear who needs to learn how to do emotions 😍
