Description
The Striker is a contemporary sports romance by Ana Huang and the first book in the Gods of the Game series. Asher Donovan is a Premier League football star whose reckless behaviour and rivalry with his new teammate have already cost his team dearly. When the two are forced to train together during the off-season, Asher meets Scarlett DuBois, a former prima ballerina whose dance career was ended by a serious accident. She is also his rival’s sister — and therefore completely off limits.
Scarlett is now a dance teacher and has little interest in getting involved with a footballer, particularly one as arrogant and distracting as Asher. But when circumstances bring them together, professional training becomes increasingly complicated by an attraction neither of them can easily ignore. As their relationship develops, both must confront the boundaries they have set for themselves and the risks of falling for someone they should not want.
A good choice for romance readers who enjoy sports romance, forbidden attraction, enemies-to-lovers tension and emotionally charged relationships.
