Book
Blurb:
Expat Irish rugby
player Declan Fraser only wanted to play the sport he loves. He didn’t want to
be stuck in this middle-of-nowhere town at this all too quaint university. He didn’t
want his team captain to be an entitled jackass who switched Declan's position
on the squad just to make himself look good. And he sure as hell didn’t want to
fall in love with graduate student Autumn McShane.
Autumn is
stubborn, but gorgeous; she bristles at any hint of dependency on anyone or
anything, but she’s also a survivor. She’s everything Declan didn’t know he
wanted. When Autumn finds herself in the middle of a challenging bet with her
ex-boyfriend - who just happens to be the arrogant team captain that Declan
hates - he feels honor bound to help her out. But he didn’t expect to fall for
her in the process.
“Behind the
Pitch” reveals the most twisted and erotic thoughts in Declan’s head as he
navigates through his on again/off again, frustrating and deeply erotic
relationship with Autumn McShane.
And lordy, does
he have a filthy mind.
Behind the Pitch
Excerpt:
I break away from her, eager for a breath, for just a second to clear my
mind. Words have become twisted in my throat. I can only stare at her, count
the freckles over her cheeks, watch the drop of her eyelids as though she is
high, as though I’ve somehow rendered her incapable of clear thought. She’s
fecking gorgeous and she taste so damn
good.
“Not exactly the first kiss I was expecting,” I say. I know what
hides behind my small confession, but at present, I don’t bleeding care. Let
her think me weak, let her think that I am putty in her hands. I bleeding well
am.
“That…that was the second.”
“Me molesting you while pie-eyed doesn’t count.” I try not to wince
thinking about that night on the pitch. God, if I’d only held off, acted like I
had any sense a’tall, maybe I could have had this sooner, and more of it. I
release a breath, sure that another apology is weighted in my throat. “Just
now, that was really the first.” I pause, watch her face to see if she will
push me away, if there’s any resistance at all to how close I hold her. How
fecking much I want to kiss her again. When she doesn’t bristle or put me off,
I go for it. “And here’s another.”

Graduate student
Autumn McShane has had her share of heartbreak. She's been abandoned and
betrayed and she lost her beloved mother in a tragic car accident five months
ago. That loss damaged her body and fractured her spirit but she's learning to
recover, until her ex-boyfriend returns to town, intent on making her life
miserable.
Declan Fraser hates her ex as much as Autumn does, but the last thing
she needs is to put her trust in the hands of another man, especially one like
Declan: his hard body and lulling Irish accent makes more than a few girls
weak-kneed. The talented rugby player is rude and sarcastic, with tattooed,
muscular arms and a cocky attitude, but he's the only one who can help Autumn
win an ill-advised bet that, if lost, could cost her more than she's willing to
pay. The reluctant alliance between Declan and Autumn stirs up cravings she
doesn't want to admit, but Declan is a hard man to resist.
Just when Autumn
starts letting down her carefully constructed walls to the sexy bad boy, he
betrays her when she needs him most. Autumn suspects Declan has secrets, and
she is determined to uncover what drove him away from her, even if that means
fraternizing with the enemy. But will the truth return Declan to her arms or
add to the scars on her heart?
