About this ebook

Author Robyn M. Ryan delivers a light and fresh sports romance where a fake relationship fails into a happily ever after.

When Tampa Suns star David Martin welcomes his younger sister to Tampa to attend grad school, he doesn’t know she left behind a messy breakup with a manipulative ex. Relieved to be thousands of miles away, Kim seeks to find herself again by completing a challenging one-year degree program. And swearing off relationships.

Haunted by making the final out in college baseball’s National Championship, captain Chatham “Spence” Spencer commits to another season, bypassing the MLB draft. The charismatic All-American shortstop vows to lead the team to a second chance at the national title—and take the extra classes needed to graduate. He has no time for extracurricular activities despite the attention of the many who hope to score a date with the popular athlete.

But when Kim literally trips over Spence at a game, they both experience an attraction they’ve never felt before. They agree to stay just friends - without benefits. But when Kim’s ex shows up, and Spence steps forward to declare that they’re in a relationship, lines start to blur.

When ambitions collide with matters of the heart, Spence and Kim must determine what it truly means to win. Can either deliver a winning play that ensures the other’s success, even if it means sacrificing personal happiness?

 

WINNING PLAY includes a protective older brother (who happens to be an NHL Hockey Player), a manipulative ex, and a fake relationship that fails into a happily ever after. 

The perfect read for fans of light and fresh sports romances.

Ryan masterfully crafts the interactions between Kim and Spence, creating a dynamic and engaging romance that is both heartwarming and steamy. The development of their relationship feels natural and authentic, drawing readers into their journey of self-discovery and love.

With a protective older brother, a manipulative ex, and a fake relationship that turns into something more, "Winning Play" is a rollercoaster of emotions and unexpected twists. It is a delightful and addictive read that will leave you cheering for love, second chances, and the winning play of the heart.This book is a perfect blend of light-hearted romance and compelling sports drama. Ryan has created a winning combination of engaging characters, sizzling chemistry, and a heartwarming storyline that is sure to satisfy romance readers everywhere.

With unpredictable romance, irresistible characters and an overload of emotion, Ryan is a master at breezing past the senses and going straight to the heart. Winning Play is flirty, fun. Kim and Spence are the perfect combination of adorable and clueless. From their frustrating dance with heartache to their often times risky love story, their antics are temptation at it's best.
