Playing Away: A Football Romance Series
He was never meant to be hers.
She was never meant to be seen.
When a star footballer and the club’s player liaison cross a line that should never be crossed, secrecy isn’t the danger — visibility is.
Mara Holt knows the rules. She built her career enforcing them. Professional distance. Controlled narratives. Silence when it matters. But one mistake turns into something far more dangerous than desire — a connection that threatens everything she’s worked for.
Ethan Cross is used to pressure. Crowds. Expectations. But nothing prepares him for wanting the one person he can’t protect publicly without destroying them both.
As scrutiny tightens and the club moves to contain the fallout, Mara is forced to choose between survival and truth. Ethan must decide whether keeping his career means staying silent or standing where the lights can’t be avoided.
Playing Away is a high-stakes football romance about power, restraint, and choosing each other when silence becomes the cost of staying safe.
Perfect for readers who
Sports romance with real consequencesForbidden proximity and professional tensionAdult, emotionally grounded love storiesHigh heat with purpose, not fluff
