Grip It, Rip It, Kiss Me
Tala Sarmiento is the most explosive talent in women’s golf—and her own worst enemy.
At twenty-seven, Tala plays the game the way she lives: aggressively, chasing the roar of the crowd, and snapping clubs over her knee when things go wrong. With her sponsorships evaporating and her ranking in freefall, her agent delivers an ultimatum: hire a professional strategist, or lose her tour card entirely.
Nerys Quillan hasn’t stepped onto a competitive course since a devastating, highly public breakdown ten years ago. Now forty-four, she reads fairways and greens with the same ruthless, ice-cold detachment she uses to protect her own heart. When she agrees to a six-tournament trial as Tala’s caddie, she expects an arrogant star who won’t listen. She doesn’t expect a woman whose raw talent and hidden, desperate vulnerability will threaten to dismantle every wall Nerys has spent a decade building.
On the links, the heat between them is impossible to ignore. Nerys’s calculated, brilliant patience is the exact antidote to Tala’s reckless fire, driving them both toward the best golf of Tala’s life—and nights of breathless, intense intimacy behind closed doors. But when a malicious scandal threatens to expose Nerys’s fragile past and destroy her hard-won life, the trust they’ve forged is driven to the breaking point.
To survive the storm, Tala will have to learn what it truly means to play the long game. And Nerys will have to decide if a heart that’s broken once can finally afford to risk everything again.
