STEELE: I used to love being referred to as the bad boy running back—until my antics landed me in hot water. I didn't think life could get much worse than being released by the team I poured my heart and soul into, just to find out I'd be playing for the Rock City Renegades. They may have the league fooled into believing they've got a shot at a championship, but I see through the facade. They're a joke, and it's only a matter of time before the rest of the world catches on. With no other choice, I sign the contract and agree to let the owner's daughter help me clean up my image. If I play my cards right and put on a show, I'll be on my way to a better team in no time. But when Sydney Grant walks into our first meeting, I realize I'm not working with a stranger at all, but the woman who had me crawling for her the night before. Can I keep it professional and do what it takes to fix my reputation? Or will I risk it all for another chance with the one person I should stay far away from?

SYDNEY: Being the lovable outcast of the city's most well-known football family never really bothered me . . . until it did. My dad and sister are all business when it comes to the Renegades, often leaving me to wonder where I fit in. So, when they ask me to use my expertise in social media to make the team's newest player look like a golden boy in the eyes of the fans, I agree, not knowing what I'm getting myself into. Steele Harlow is larger than life. He says what he wants. He does what he wants. And he certainly doesn't take kindly to being ordered around. But I never back down from a challenge, even when that challenge is tall, tattooed, and knows exactly what buttons to push to drive me wild. I promised my family that I'd tame the league's bad boy. But what happens when I let my guard slip, and he sees the parts of me no one else knows about?
