~ Synopsis ~
Three people. Three motives. Three reasons.
When the game leaves the field in the second book in
the USA Today bestselling BY HIS GAME series and mixes with sex, lies, and
betrayal, the future isn't the only thing on the line...
Macey Kelly has sworn off men. Unless they’re going to
zip in and out of her apartment—and her vagina—quicker than they can give her
an orgasm, she’s not interested. Finding out her boyfriend of three years got
her cousin pregnant was a total confidence knock. Luckily for Macey, confidence
is
something she has in abundance, so all Mitch’s asshole
move did was make her pretty cynical toward men.
The last thing Jack Carr needs at the start of the
season is for a dark-haired, sexy as sin, gyspyesque beauty to be consuming his
thoughts. Football is his life, which leaves no time for girls. Unless they’re
the love ‘em and leave ‘em girls. Becoming one of the best running backs the
league has ever seen by racking up the yards is his top priority… not bedding
Macey Kelly, despite her affinity for blow jobs and total sexual abandon.
Avoiding each other is the perfect solution, but when
your best friends are in a serious living together kind of relationship, that
isn’t always an option. Sometimes, sex on tap is the easiest option. And the
sweetest.
Until Mitch shows up with a bombshell that could
shatter Macey’s perfectly carved out life. It’s been a year, but he isn’t
giving her up, not now he has a chance at winning her back. And he knows her
buttons. Every single one of them.
Unfortunately for him, Jack Carr isn’t a loser. The
star running back has his eye on the Vince Lombardi—and on Macey. But seeing
her hanging between them both isn’t something he’s down with, not when he
discovers why she’s so against anything more-ish, as she puts it.Macey quickly
realizes she’s the ball being passed between two desperate yet opposing teams,
and that only one of them can score the touchdown. But will the winner be the
guy she lived with and loved for three years, or will the winner be the guy who
understands her and makes her body come alive?
In this game, someone will be sidelined, and calling
the play isn’t always as easy as it seems.

not necessary to read BLINDSIDED before this book, but it is advised.)

~ Excerpt ~
“Put the drink down, M,” he whispers. “It’s fucking
with you.”
“Really? I thought that was you fucking with me,” I
respond, turning to him and pressing a hand
against his chest. “What the hell are you doing here?”
Like, right here. Literally.
“It’s my best friend’s birthday.” He smirks. “Why’ve
you been staring at me all night like you wanna
suck and bite my cock simultaneously?”
“I assure you it was the latter.”
“Sure it was.” Jack steps into me again, and I grab my
glass with the hand closest to him so I don’t
grab his ass or something, ‘cause, shit. He’s got a
sweet as hell ass.
“It was.” I drink. Again. Where the hell are my girls?
“I feel like dancing.” I finish the glass and twist
my body away from his.
His hand finally falls from me as I stalk toward and
down the stairs. I slip into the moving crowd, but
I’ve barely moved my hips when two large, strong hands
clasp me and tug me backward. The wall of
muscle my back slams into is solid, and I exhale on a
whoosh, even as I close my fingers against the
ones clasping my hips.
“Nice try, baby,” Jack says into my ear. “Run if you
want. I’m a running back. I’ll chase you and catch
you every fuckin’ time.”
“Sounds like a promise you can’t keep, doll,” I reply,
my breath catching when he moves my hips
against his.
“Sounds like a promise you’re afraid of.”
I laugh and shove his hands away from me. I turn to
face him. Even in the darkness, his eyes blaze
bright green, so fucking bright they’re close to
blinding me every time the strobe lighting coasts
across his face. And, shit, it does it so many times,
and every time, it illuminates every line and curve
of his perfectly sculpted jaw.
“You wish, Jack Carr. You fucking wish.”
His hands snatch mine and he pulls me through the
crowd. I fight his hold, but his grip is too tight.
My heart pounds as he drags me through the hall with
certainty, and in two minutes, I find myself
pressed against his goddamn car in the parking lot.
“What the fuck?” I shout, shoving at him.
He grabs my hands once more and pins them over my
head, effectively bending me backward on the
hood of his SUV. “What the fuck?” he replies, leaning
into me, his voice low. “Is that hard or soft,
quick or slow, deep or shallow? ‘Cause baby, I can
fuck you all six of those ways in one go.”
“None of them,” I snap. “What the fuck, as in, what
the fuck, asshole?”
“Oh, that what the fuck.” He bends forward a little
more. Until his mouth is against my ear and his
hard body is pressed right up against mine. “Maybe
it’s the what the fuck I felt when I felt your eyes
on me all night. Maybe it’s the what the fuck I felt
when you looked at me like you wanted to fuck
me one minute, then the next, slice my balls in two.
Maybe it’s the what the fuck you’ve got in your
eyes while you let me lie my body over yours in a
motherfucking parking lot seconds after I ask you
how you want to be fucked tonight.”
“I don’t want to be fucked,” I reply, doing my best to
slam my hands into his hood. I fail—shit, he’s
so fucking strong I can’t even twist my hands in his
grip.
“Baby, your body says otherwise.”
“My body is an impulsive fuckwit.”
“Your body knows me.”
“Again, my body is an impulsive fuckwit.”
“You never did say.” He breathes against my jaw and
brushes his lips against my skin. “How do you
want to be fucked?”
He tilts his face into my neck and kisses. Oh, hell,
he kisses my neck, right beneath my jaw, where my
chin meets my neck, and I pause. I inhale sharply.
“Get in the goddamn car,” he orders, releasing me.
“Excuse me?” I push up and stare at him.
“Get in the goddamn car,” he repeats, pulling open his
door and staring me. “Or have I gotta throw
you into it?”
“I am not getting into your car!”
He slams his door shuts and rounds on me. I step
backward, but he’s too quick, and he wraps an arm
around my waist. My body slams into his yet again as
he opens the passenger side door of his SUV
and throws me into it.
“Get. In. The. Goddamn. Car.”
“This is kidnap!”
He slams my door, and I both see and hear him laughing
as he walks to the driver’s side. “Sure it is,
baby. I’m startin’ the engine now, so you got ten
seconds to get the hell out before I drive. One…
two…”

(His Game #1)

~ Synopsis ~
From Emma Hart, the New York Times bestselling author
of the Game series, comes a brand new series where the game is realer, the
tension is tighter, the sex is hotter, and the stakes are the highest of all…
Two people. Two agendas. Two games.
What happens when the out-there It-Boy of football
meets the secret It-Girl of fashion?
As the daughter of Hollywood’s sweetheart, Leah
Veronica can’t even buy a coffee without finding her face on a magazine stand,
so it’s no wonder she’s launching her first fashion line in secret. With it
debuting at New York Fashion Week in just under a month, extra time in the
spotlight is the last thing she needs.
The son of the best quarterback the league has ever
seen, filling legendary shoes as the L.A. Vipers’ quarterback was inevitable
for Corey Jackson. So was meeting Leah Veronica—the first girl to hand him his
ass without putting a hair out of place.
Getting the handsome, prickly blonde into his bed
becomes his number one goal. But getting the sexy, over-confident footballer
the hell away from her becomes Leah’s—at least until she realizes the best way
to do that is to give him what he wants.
If only it was that simple.
When Corey discovers who she is, and private photos of
Hollywood’s finest find their way online, everything they thought they knew is
thrown into disarray.
And when secrets are exposed and hearts are shattered,
they have to figure out if they’ve been blindsided by love or reality, and if
it’s worth running the extra yard to win the game they never meant to play.
