Caught Offsides

Niko Karas is a walking distraction.

Greek god looks. Rising soccer star status. A body built for sin and stadium lights.

Unfortunately for me, he’s also the face of the sport-luxe campaign I’m overseeing.

I know athletes. As the younger sister of a soccer legend, I understand the pressure, the obsession, the sacrifice. Soccer always comes first.

Honestly, that works for me.

I’m not looking for forever. I haven’t been on a date in four months, and I haven’t let anything get serious in six years—not after the last man who promised to stay walked away when I needed him most.

So one night with Niko should be the perfect kind of reckless. Fun, easy, and temporary. He’s a notorious player who’s never committed to anything but the game, and I’m a woman with a career to protect and a heart I don’t let anyone touch.

He’s moving to Germany. I’m building my life in New York.

And no strings means no consequences.

Until I find out I’m pregnant.

Now my career is hanging by a thread, my life is changing faster than I can keep up with, and the one man I never planned to need is thousands of miles away.

Niko Karas was supposed to be one unforgettable night.

Now he might be the future I never saw coming.
