Player (Against the Rules Series Book 1)

Jackson Grant, a sophomore quarterback, transfers to the University of Hunton carrying the weight of a betting and cheating scandal from his former college. Though he was not involved in the wrongdoing, he arrives with a reputation that precedes him. He is determined to focus on his performance and prove himself to a skeptical team, including senior running back Sam Moore, who distrusts him immediately. Mila Moore, the head coach's daughter and Sam's sister, has little interest in football despite her family's deep involvement in the sport. She plans to graduate, pursue a teaching career, and build a life far removed from the football world and its intense fandom. She has no intention of becoming involved with the new quarterback—especially one as arrogant as Jackson Grant. As fall approaches and Jackson settles into Hunton U, an attraction develops between them despite their mutual resistance. Jackson must navigate the challenges of earning his teammates' respect while managing paranoia about sabotage. Mila finds herself drawn to someone she had resolved to avoid. Player is the first book in the Against the Rules series, a three-book sports romance exploring how love, rivalry, and secrets intersect.
