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.
(SIDELINED is a
full-length, standalone novel. It's not necessary to read BLINDSIDED before
this book, but it is advised.)

Excerpt ~
“Mitch.” I spit his name like the poison he is. “Seems
he has a message for me.”
“Doesn’t matter,” Macey mutters, walking into the
kitchen.
She reaches for the tequila bottle, but I dart forward
and spin her so her back is against the counter. No way is she drowning her
shit in a tequila bottle this time. No fucking running.
“Leah says otherwise, so, M, why don’t you tell me
about his message for me?”
“I said it doesn’t matter!” Macey’s eyes flash with an
anger and vulnerability stronger than I’ve ever noticed before.
“It does to me!” I yell, leaning into her. My eyes
search her face. “It fucking matters to me, babe, so spit it the hell out.”
“I said. It. Doesn’t. Matter.”
“I say you’re full of shit.” My mouth moves to her
ear. “You gonna tell me or do I hafta fuck it out of you, huh? I’m not averse
to either, but his name could really kill the mood when my cock is inside you.”
Macey shoves at me and I release her. She storms away
from me, toward her room, then stops. “You wanna know? You really want to know
what that asshole has to say to you?”
“Believe me, babe. I’d love him to say this bullshit
to me. Seems he’s a pussy who has to use his ex-girl to tell me though. So
let’s paraphrase. I’d love to know what that asshole has to get you to say to
me, okay? Enlighten me, baby. Go ahead.”
“‘Tell your fuck buddy he’s playing to win a whole lot
more than the Super Bowl this season,’” she whispers. “Or something along those
lines. Close enough, I guess.”
Every nerve in my body goes on high alert. Electric
jolt after jolt booms through me, my adrenaline peaking with his threat. The
threat he can’t even fucking say to my face. More than that, every protective
instinct in my body roars to life louder than an MC club starting their bikes.
I feel those words crawling over my fucking skin, almost paralyzing in their
determination but laughable in their weakness.
“Baby.” I move toward Macey, determined, certain,
strong.
She breathes heavily, her eyes screwed shut, her fists
clenched at her sides.
“Look at me.”
She shakes her head.
I grab her jaw and force her head up. “Look. At. Me.”
Her eyes open, and in them, I see a roaring sea of
fear and uncertainty tinted with resignation to the words she expects. The
words she won’t hear.
“What?” Her whispered word is barely audible.
“If you don’t know the rules, you don’t play the
game,” I rasp. “Now, Mitch? He thinks he knows the rules. He thinks he can come
back into your life and dictate shit his way. I think he’s sorely fucking
mistaken, because he has no idea who he’s messing with.” My fingers creep
around to the back of her neck, and her back flattens against the wall. “I play
a game every day of my life, baby. I know more rules than you can ever believe
exist. He thinks he can meet you for a half-assed drink and threaten me? He’s a
joke. I laugh. Really, I do.”
“What?” she breathes again.
“If your fucking ex thinks he can walk back into your
life, into my life, and threaten me with taking something that is
inconceivably, irrevocably, indisputably fucking mine, he has the shock
of his life coming to him.” My words are growled into her ear. “Let him
play, baby. He has no idea what he’s just done.”
See where it all began……
Blindsided
(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.
