Fans of football romance will love this new novella in the Play Makers Shorts series by Kate Donovan!



Sports agent Nick Gutierrez is fighting to save the career of his star player, a rookie QB sensation whose meteoric rise ended in a complete crash and burn. Contacting Gemma Jones, an image consultant with a reputation for miraculously transforming fallen stars, Nick figures with any luck she can work her magic on his client. And from their first incendiary meeting, Nick realizes Gemma’s magic works on him, too.


Creating new images comes second nature to Gemma, who has already changed her own identity twice to avoid a danger from her past. And with that danger always threatening to resurface, she’s also sworn off any romantic entanglements. The last thing she needs is a brash, hunky, hilarious guy like Nick trying to seduce her.


Nick feels certain he can get past Gemma’s defenses, and as much as she’d love to fall for him, she may just have to change her identity yet again and run for everyone’s sake. But Gemma’s a fighter, and she won’t give up on finding a way to save Nick’s client and also save her own heart.


“This was funny, sexy and a little heartbreaking at times. I highly recommend it to all sport romance readers out there!” —Jessica Alcazar on Play Date


“This was my first experience with Ms. Donovan’s work and I have to say it left a pretty memorable first impression, those handsome football players really lured me in, and have me really looking forward to a return visit to the Play Makers series.” —Reds Romance Reviews on Playing for Kicks
