Free Agent
For Rori Mitchell, delulu is decidedly not the solulu. Getting her lick back is.

What starts as chance encounter at a sporting event ends up being a perfect distraction from the chaos of a broken heart. Instead of throwing herself into work, she throws herself—for good or bad—into Tatum Wilder.

An offensive tackle for the Connecticut Kings, Tatum is used to high-stakes games and intense scrutiny. On the field, he's a powerhouse; off the field, he's a country boy with gentleman tendencies . . . and a propensity toward knowing the right thing to say at all times. Well. Most of the time.

Their connection? Immediate and undeniable. Well . . . They can deny it.

After all, with Rori on the heels of heartbreak, a relationship could be a disaster. Free Agency might be a position of power.

Or maybe just a crutch.

Contains mature themes.
