Until It Was Love: A Complicated Situationship RomCom (Copper Valley Pounders Rugby Book 1)

The narrator lists numerous reasons not to date Fletcher Huxley, an international rugby legend attempting to revive his career in the US after being released by his overseas team. Despite his physical appeal—including muscular thighs, tattoos, and athletic build—he ranks high on her nemesis list due to their first meeting. His terrible mustache adds to her reservations, as does his unclear motivation for wanting to date her. However, one factor makes dating him appealing: he is her brother's new teammate, and the two already dislike each other. Her brother has recently interfered in her romantic life, so a revenge date with Fletcher to upset him seems strategically sound. She plans to let Fletcher believe the date benefits the team. With a move to London for work scheduled in one month, she views this as a single, low-stakes date. The story features Fletcher, who owns a purse dog, and the narrator, a life coach, alongside a mustache mishap and a fainting spell. It concludes with a happily ever after.
