Protecting Player 73

From USA Today Bestselling Author KL Donn comes a pretty-obsession romance featuring a social media-savvy heroine and a football star who's fixated on the woman he plans to make his wife.

Women are a distraction.

They lie. They manipulate. They break the rules whenever it suits them.

I learned that lesson the hard way when private photos and videos of me were leaked online and turned my life into a public spectacle. Overnight, I went from one of the best players in the NFL to Portland's favorite scandal.

I've spent my whole life focused on one thing: football.

Being the best.

Nothing else mattered.

Until Brea King.

To clean up my image, the team's owner hires a social media manager. Someone to follow us around with a camera, post content, and convince the world I'm more than the dirty headlines.

The second I see Brea, I'm done for.

She's smart, stubborn, beautiful, and completely unimpressed by me.

Believing I'm the problem.

What she doesn't understand is that once I decide something belongs to me, I don't quit.

And I've decided I want her.

The more she tries to avoid me, the more obsessed I become. Every laugh. Every eye roll. Every second she spends looking anywhere but at me only makes me want her more.

I'll do anything to keep her.

Especially when the woman responsible for disclosing my privacy turns her attention toward Brea. She wanted me before. Now she wants to destroy the one person I can't stop thinking about.

That's not happening.

Because nobody touches what's mine.
