Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 16, 2023
It started out like any other Tuesday.
I spent twelve hours writing algorithms for one of the largest companies in the world and then came home to work on a pet project of mine—feeding facts about the men I knew into a formula to find my perfect match before my twenties came barreling to a close.
But then a man knocked on my door and handed me some papers that turned my life upside down.
Apparently, a father I never knew existed had left me something in his will. That something turned out to be part ownership in a professional football team.
Next thing I knew, I was learning a sport I knew nothing about by spending time with the team’s quarterback who was out with an injury, a man who my formula would definitely determine was all wrong for me.
Christian Knox was too handsome and confident for his own good and could have any woman he wanted. Only lately the only woman he seemed to want was me.
But there was no way I was getting involved when I was now his boss, even if he was insanely gorgeous and had the dirtiest mouth I’d ever come across.
It would be wrong, wouldn’t it?

Bella is trying hard to wear her big girl pant, hold her head high and not let people drag her down as she steps into her new job as team owner. Thanks to dear old dad, who she never even met, she already has a cross on her back with her two half sisters. Many people don't think this math nerd has what it takes to run a football team. She is determined to make the most of it and do everything she can.
Christian Knox has the world right where he wants it. Aside from knowing it is a contract year for him and he currenty is on the healing tail of an injury. What more could he need in his life? His relationship with his father is pretty non existant but his mom and brothers more than make up for it. But when he listens to the new boss mistake him for the delivery boy, she catches his eye and he want to know so much more about her.
As we watch Bella and Christian's friendship grow, there are many undertones. Bella is so very hesitant and worried about impressions and what other will think. Christian is long past giving a shit about what people think about him, he wants to do something he does it. He has his eyes on Bella and he just needs to help her get on board.
This was a fun story to read. From Bella's gay bestie without a filter, to her friends up and coming football star and Christian's determination to get the woman. Jump in and enjoy the ride.
