Rooster: A Secret Baby Sports Romance (Unabridged‪)‬

Real men stick around.

Izzy:

Guys like that are not meant to happen to girls like me.

Not once, and certainly not twice.

So, when I see that Rory O’Connor, Ireland’s most talked about bad-boy sports star, has been given a contract for the New York Rangers a full year after the last time I saw him, I feel like life is about to repeat itself.

Banned from his own sport for a lifetime and just out of prison for assault, he’s clearly going to be more than a handful.

But I already know that, even if I don’t really know him.

I know what he’s capable of because I get reminded of it every day. Our baby, Oscar, is already three months old.

I wonder what he’ll say when he finds out. I wonder if I’ll even have the guts to tell him.

What I do know for certain is that I won’t be able to keep myself away from him for long. That’s the one thing I do know about Rory. If there's something he wants, he won’t let anything get in his way.

Rory:

I can’t believe I’ve been given a second chance.

My country has turned its back on me, but I’m not going to let that get me down.

When I get the contract to come over to the States, I can’t help but think someone’s looking out for me.

It doesn’t take her long to find me either, but I knew she wouldn't be able to resist.

Even if I hadn’t thought about her every day for a year, I’d still never forget her face, and now that I’m back, I’m not going to let anything keep us apart.

If there’s one thing I know how to do better than anyone else, it’s fight and win for what I believe in.

She may not realize it yet, but Izzy’s definitely the only girl for me.

Note: This is a stand-alone, full-length bad-boy sports romance with a secret baby, absolutely no cheating, and a happy ever after. It’s heavy on the steam and has just enough sports action to be enjoyed by fans of both genres.
