Rough Play

by Anne Lange

Amid the throng of reporters vying for that elusive headline and industry recognition, I’m clinging to the heart of the action. With years of sports photography under my belt, I thought I’d seen it all, but nothing could prepare me for what unfolded before my lens today.

Drew Wylder, a star on the football field, collided in a brutal fashion that sent shockwaves through my camera. The kind of collision that could shatter dreams and halt a career in its tracks.

As the medical team whisks Drew away from the field, our eyes connect for a fleeting moment. His gaze holds mine, a perplexed look in his eyes.

“Who are you?” he asks, his face tight with pain.

I stammer, “I—”

“Pretty,” he interjects, before he passes out cold.Amid the high-stakes world of sports, where careers teeter on the brink, and secrets from the past cast a sinister shadow, strangers become friends and discover that love has an agenda all its own, one they never anticipated.

Roni and Drew....epic. I loved this story from Anne....even though I totally want more of these two!

It's great to see that someone like Roni could be there for Drew. That it was so sweet to see Drew take the much-needed break and smell the roses. To see what the most important things are. We all could do that.

And when it's all said and done, finding your forever can take mere seconds....as soon as how these two made me swoon. Oh, just read it!

A cute and fast read. If you like sport romances then this is one you would enjoy. A football star falls for the gorgeous sports photographer who helps him find meaning in his life. Could there be more to life than just the game? Roni plans on helping him find his way in this cute sports romcom.

This football Novella introduces it to Roni a freelance photographer and Drew a 🏈 football player. Drew is injured in a game and while rehabilitating back to health he is paired with Roni on a work project. This was a quick read great story line between the characters. A decent amount of spice.
