Seren Davis is done putting herself last.
As a single mom returning to professional rugby after over two years away, she has everything to prove: to her new team, to the world, and to the part of herself that still wonders if motherhood cost her the woman she used to be.
Jake Ledger is the last distraction she needs.
Charming, funny, and dangerously easy to want, the Knights’ playboy fullback is also her brother’s teammate—which makes him completely off-limits. But Jake doesn’t just flirt with Seren. He shows up. For her bad days, her comeback, and the little boy who makes him feel something he’s never had before: chosen.
They call it friendship. Harmless. Easy. Pretend.
With careers, family, and a child’s heart on the line, falling for real could cost them everything.
But how long can they keep playing pretend?
