She’s done playing defense. He’s ready to go full attack.

Palmer York is sick of playing it safe. As the goalie for the professional women’s lacrosse team The Baltimore Battle and a serial monogamist, she’s always followed the playbook—on the field and off. But after getting dumped for her cousin, Palmer’s self-esteem is riding the bench, her stick skills are slipping, and her dating life? Fully in the penalty box.
Tired of falling fast and hard for all the wrong men, Palmer decides to step out of her comfort zone and take a different approach to dating. Try a casual hookup. No strings. No drama. No catching feelings. But she needs to find the right candidate, someone she can feel safe with, someone who knows how to handle his stick.

Enter “Charming Charlie” Salinas.
Hotter than turf in July, quick with the flirt, and in a different league, Charlie works media for the Battle and has been Palmer’s friend—and late-night fantasy—for years. If she wanted serious, he’s the last person she should let anywhere near her crease. But Charlie has all the right moves and his allergy to commitment fits Palmer’s “sex, not love” experiment.
But Charlie? He’s been biding his time. And when Palmer proposes a strictly physical arrangement, he sees his shot and takes the fast break—straight to her heart.

As their chemistry heats up and the boundaries blur, Palmer’s playing a whole new kind of game—and the only thing harder than keeping her hands off Charlie might be walking away when the final whistle blows.
