Publisher Description
In this heartfelt sports romance, a British bad boy rugby player finds an unlikely ally in the coach’s daughter.
British bad boy Cillian “Kill” Cairney is ruthless on the rugby pitch. After getting a permanent red card from his team in London, the only team that will have him is an Ivy League school in New Hampshire. But the guys hate him, his coach doesn’t trust him, and worst of all? His starting position is in the hands of his coach’s fiery, rugby-obsessed, very off-limits daughter, Rory. He'll have to earn the respect of both his coach and Rory—and nothing has ever seemed more difficult. That is, until she approaches him with a proposition that could benefit them both . . .
Rory St. James has spent all her life immersed in rugby. She’s tired of being friend-zoned. She wants to get the guy, and to do that, she needs the frustratingly charming Cillian to teach her. But the more time they spend together, the more lines begin to blur.
In a game where trust and loyalty are tested, who will be the winner? Or will love be the final red card?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A bad boy and an adorkable girl find a shared passion for more than rugby in Maren Moore’s delightful sports-themed romance. Fresh out of chances in London, Cillian Cairney has one last opportunity to save his rugby career in the U.S. Team manager and coach’s daughter Rory St. James just wants what’s best for the team, even if it is a brooding English rogue with incredible thighs who’s despised by his teammates. When we learned that Cillian’s previous poor behaviour was the by-product of losing his mother and becoming the caregiver for his younger sister, it instantly had us rooting for him to win on the pitch and off. On the flip side, Rory’s inability to talk to guys about anything but rugby is oddly charming. The flirting lessons Cillian gives her progress from sweet to steamy at a satisfying clip. Red Card emerges from the scrum of college sports romances with its charm and swoon-worthiness very much intact.
