No risk, no reward in the game of love 
Training the Las Vegas Slayers by day, sampling Sin City's delights by night, Nate Franco's life is one to envy. But a hot nightclub encounter could change all that. Because Charlotte Blue is more than a beautiful stranger. She's the daughter of his team's new owners—and his rival for the top training job. To keep his career and his legacy intact, Nate's prepared to play a little dirty. 
Charlotte works hard to make her mark in a male-dominated sport. On the field, she and Nate are the picture of professionalism. In the bedroom, she's risking everything for their breathtaking forbidden affair. But is Nate just using her so his family can reclaim the team—or will they be able to look beyond the passionate games to embrace real love?

A Slightly different take on a Romeo and Juliet Romance, but with a Football Team and Set in Sin City!  Sounds fun...right!  Well, it is!  Charlotte and Nate and HOT! The chemistry sizzles...and no, I am not talking about the Las Vegas heat...these two really have a connection, but their are some HUGE obstacles that they must face first, or it's broken heart city for this pair!

Our Heroine, Charlotte (Lottie), is one of the "Blue's", the daughter of the New Team owners of the Las Vegas Slayers Football Team, and Lottie is trying to keep the Assistant Trainer job that she busted her butt to get in the first place...guess it doesn't matter who your parents are...huh!  Unfortunately for Lottie, she is also mixed up the another trainer, Nate Franco, whom is a part of the Franco Dynasty himself, aside from the fact that his father used to be the team owner, until the Blue's bought him out.  So let's just say that the Blue's and the Franco's are NOT friendly...and Lottie and Nate are trying to keep their fling behind closed doors.

Add in more drama, which we love, a football team of trouble-makers and a few meddling family members, and you have yourself a Sassy, Emotional and Super-Fun Sports Romance.  I for one am looking forward to the second book of the series, MIDNIGHT PLAY.

I also would love a novella on Joey, Charlotte's friend in the book...I wanted more back story on her, and I think her little side romance needed more attention...or I am just super nosy!

About Lisa Marie Perry

 photo LMP_authorphoto_web_zpsd53170a6.jpg


Lisa Marie Perry encounters difficult fictional men and women on a daily basis. She writes contemporary romance fiction with plenty of sizzle, energy and depth. Flawed, problematic, damaged characters are welcome. Her tales feature exciting multicultural mash-ups, sexy guy-next-door heroes and powerful larger-than-life alphas who are brought to their knees by the love of complicated women.
According to Lisa Marie, an imagination’s a terrible thing to ignore. So is a good cappuccino. After years of college, customer service gigs and a career in caregiving, she at last gave in to buying an espresso machine and writing to her imagination’s desire. She lives in America’s heartland and she has every intention of making the Colorado mountains her new stomping grounds. She drives a truck, enjoys indie rock, collects Medieval literature, watches too many comedies, has a not-so-secret love for lace and adores rugged men with a little bit of nerd.

All is fair in Love and Football...

Emily Hamilton doesn't trust men. She's much more comfortable playing the romantic lead on stage in front of a packed house than in her own life. So, when NFL star and irresistible ladies' man Brandon McKenna acts as her personal white knight, she has no illusions he'll stick around. However, a misunderstanding with the press throws them together in a fake engagement that yields unexpected (and breathtaking) benefits.

Every time Brandon calls her "Sugar," Emily almost believes Brandon's playing for keeps, not just to score. Can she let down her defenses and get her own Happily Ever After?

About Julie

Julie Brannagh has been writing since she was old enough to hold a pencil. She lives in a small town near Seattle, where she once served as a city council member and owned a yarn shop. She shares her home with a wonderful husband, two uncivilized Maine Coons and a rambunctious chocolate Lab.

Julie hasn't quite achieved the goal of owning a pro football team, so she created a fictional one: The Seattle Sharks. When she's not writing, she's reading, or armchair-quarterbacking her favorite NFL team from the comfort of the family room couch. Julie is a Golden Heart finalist and the author of four contemporary sports romances.
