Red Card

She's All That meets She's the Man in this New Adult sports romance about a British bad boy rugby player who's forced to start over in America and finds an unlikely ally in the coach's daughter when she offers him a deal he can't resist. 

Leaving it all on the field is one thing. Giving his all to love? Terrifying.

British bad boy Cillian "Kill" Cairney is ruthless on the rugby pitch. After getting a permanent red card from his team in London, the only team that will have him is an Ivy League school in New Hampshire. But the guys hate him, his coach doesn't trust him, and worst of all? His starting position is in the hands of his coach's fiery, rugby-obsessed, very off-limits daughter. Not only does he have to earn his coach's respect, but Kill has to earn Rory's--and nothing has ever seemed more difficult. That is, until she approaches him with a proposition that could benefit them both . . . 

Rory St. James has spent all her life immersed in rugby. Which is . . . part of the problem. She's tired of being friend-zoned. She wants to get the guy, and to do that, she needs the frustratingly charming Cillian to teach her. But the more time they spend together, the more lines begin to blur. In a game where trust and loyalty are tested, who will be the winner? Or will love be the final red card?
