The fix? A fake relationship with Decker Trace, the arrogant tight end of the Vista City Kings.  It’s a long shot, but her publicist swears it’ll work—and if there’s one thing Lena’s good at, it’s putting on a show. Decker Trace was ready to retire from football, until his plans literally went up in flames. Which is why he agrees to a PR stunt with everyone’s current musical obsession, Lena Lux. Sure, she can come across as bratty and overdramatic at times, but every guy she’s dated has become insta-famous after their breakup, and that’s exactly what Decker is counting on. After all, it’s not like they would actually fall for each other while pretending to be in love, right? The Player and the Pop Star is a dual POV no spice romance and the first book in a planned interconnected series. less

After years of auditioning, Avery Hinkley finally accomplishes her dream of becoming a Vista City Kings cheerleader, which comes with a few rules: hold a full-time job outside of the team, never miss a practice, and don’t fraternize with any of the Kings football players. Seems simple enough…until her plant-care business flounders, putting Avery dangerously close to a breach of contract, not to mention possible homelessness... moreAfter years of auditioning, Avery Hinkley finally accomplishes her dream of becoming a Vista City Kings cheerleader, which comes with a few rules: hold a full-time job outside of the team, never miss a practice, and don’t fraternize with any of the Kings football players. Seems simple enough…until her plant-care business flounders, putting Avery dangerously close to a breach of contract, not to mention possible homelessness. Then in waltzes the biggest breach of all—the grumpy Vista City Kings strong safety, Ty Brewster—with a forbidden offer of help that could sideline everything she’s worked for. Ty Brewster’s invitation for Avery to be his roommate was easy, but living with her, even temporarily, may prove to be the difficult part. When she and her cat blow into his life like some unforeseen whirlwind, it takes all of Ty’s strength not to get swept up in every tiny quirk that is Avery Hinkley. Because the thing is, having Avery as a roommate defies the promise he made to both his team and himself: put his head down, follow the rules, and don’t give the Kings a reason to trade him as easily as his last team. As a Kings cheerleader living under his roof, Avery’s a walking contract violation. But just like this roommate situation, everything has a shelf life. Nothing lasts. And if anyone finds out about their arrangement, their careers won’t last either. The Safety and the Secret is a dual POV, no spice romance. It’s the second book in The Vista City Kings series but can be read as a standalone. less
