Heart Keeper (Manchester Athletic‪)‬

It's him who needs saving . . .

Single dad. Goalkeeper. Widower. Nate Morris is Manchester Athletic's starting keeper and resident good guy. He trains, works out and looks after his daughters.

My job isn't to stare unless it's in a professional capacity, and I've sworn off footballers. As one of the team's physios, my hands on job, is very hands off.

Until the flirting starts.

And then Nate isn't saving goals—he's scoring them. In my net.

We weren't meant to be serious. This wasn't meant to be anything more than a few steamy nights. Only one of those goals leads to a title for me in nine months' time.

Nate Morris isn't your typical footballer. He doesn't just want his heart to be saved—he wants to keep mine.
