A Rival's Kiss - Maya Hughes

Walking away would be the smartest decision, but no one's ever accused me of being smart. Cold, determined, brutal, but never smart.

Willa's mine from the moment I rescue her. I protect her from a brawling crowd and she stares up at me like I'm her prince charming. No one's ever looked at me like that. No one has ever dared to come that close.

I didn't know she was the little sister of one of my biggest rivals. Her brother and I have both drawn blood on the field, dislocated joints, broken bones, but I'll never want to show her that side of me.

I long to be the man she believes I am, but there's only one way I know how to win-how to survive-and that's ensuring my enemies lose.

Once he finds out who his sister has been dating it'll be all-out war, and I might lose the only woman who's ever looked at me like I'm not built only for destruction.

Changing my ways won't be easy, but I'm willing to risk it all for her.
