She swore never to trust him. He swore to protect her anyway.

Jonny Tate only wants a decent life — clerking by day, playing football by night, and keeping out of trouble. But trouble finds him anyway when the ledger he stole from ruthless crime lord Charles Blackwood makes him a marked man. Now, Blackwood’s brutal lieutenant, Gideon Sharp, is closing in.
Ada Jones has secrets of her own — including the fact that she’s the one who ended Blackwood’s reign for good. After years of being promised to a faithless suitor, she’s done letting anyone dictate her life… least of all Jonny Tate and his dangerous world.
But when their families’ long feud forces them into an uneasy alliance, sparks fly. Between mistrust, scandal, and Gideon’s relentless pursuit, Jonny and Ada find themselves drawn together against all odds. And as the football season races toward its final match, their hearts are on the line right along with the game.

Can a half-back and a huntress outrun the shadows of their pasts—or will love prove the boldest risk of all?
