Thunderstruck

Description

He’s sworn to stay single, she’s done with heartbreak—but the heart doesn’t always follow the rules.

Rugby player Cole Evanson doesn’t need romance complicating his life. So when the team’s new rehab specialist—the spunky and stunning Carissa Paxton—arrives, Cole knows he should steer clear and let his teammates make their moves. Easier said than done. Carissa’s vivacious and sweet nature tempts Cole to risk his infamous family curse, which would be a mistake for everyone.

After a brutal breakup, Carissa is ready for a fresh start—no more dating disasters, no more men she can’t trust. But Cole, with his brooding intensity and hidden big heart, is impossible to ignore. Despite her vow to focus on her career, she’s irresistibly drawn to the muscled rugby player who’s more than just a grumpy face. But falling for a colleague again could be dangerous.

Both nursing old wounds, they agree to stay friends and keep their careers on track. But when the notorious tabloid Hollywood Hot Scoop targets them, their budding connection is blasted into the spotlight. With secrets unraveling and chemistry that’s off the charts, Cole and Carissa must decide: risk everything for love or let their pasts tear them apart.
