Vitals & Victories: Sports Romance (The Ruck & The Reckless Book 1) Publisher's Summary

One night. No last names. No consequences.

At least, that’s what they thought.

When Anastasia Bellows walked away from Graham Callahan after a reckless night in Cape Town, she never imagined she’d see him again. Certainly not as her new boss. Now, as the team doctor for the Toronto Tigers, Ana is determined to protect her career and keep things strictly professional—even if he’s still the most infuriating, irresistible man she’s ever met.

Graham has built an empire by keeping his emotions in check. But the moment he sees Ana again, all bets are off. She’s everything he can’t have—young, fiery, and off-limits.

With the tension thick enough to cut, a scandal rocking the team, and a championship on the line, Graham and Ana are playing a dangerous game.

Because in the world of professional rugby, the hardest hits happen off the field.
