Resisting Temptation : An Enemies to Lovers, Second Chance Romance

Raider Brotherhood #2

by A.K. Steel

She wants a war…I want her back.

After a brutal injury ends my NFL career, I return home to lick my wounds and take on a new challenge—running for mayor. But nothing could’ve prepared me for Paisley Whittaker.

Gorgeous, sharp-tongued, and out for my blood, she’s the one I let go years ago—and the only woman who’s ever gotten under my skin. Now she’s running the opposition's campaign, hell-bent on ruining mine and chasing me out of town. Game on.

We were never supposed to cross that line again.

But one stolen kiss turns into another.

One heated argument explodes into a night neither of us can forget.

She’s my best friend’s little sister.

My political rival.

And the girl I can’t walk away from twice.

Lines are blurring. Hearts are on the line. And this town might not survive the fallout.

I don’t think I’ve read book 1 in the series but it didn’t distract from this story at all. What a tangled web this story was.
Love, heartache, mystery and suspense.
