Strings Attached

A career on the verge of collapse. A broken heart locked away. The last thing they need is strings.

Jake Davenport is the best striker in the English Premier League. Or he was until his off-pitch behavior left his captain with a broken nose, and Jake suspended. Indefinitely. He flees to New York to lay low. But peace is fleeting when he's sharing an apartment with his free-spirited first love, who insists on friendship and shoves him outside his comfort zone every chance she gets.

Harley O'Connell lives by a simple idea: Maximum fun. Minimum attachments. It's served her well over the last decade and she sees no reason to rethink it. Certainly not for Jake. She hasn't thought about their summer fling in years, and is unprepared for his shirtless presence in her kitchen, and her dreams. But admiring his well defined torso is one thing, letting her heart get involved is quite another.

With the friendzone getting hotter by the day, Harley suggests the only thing she thinks will relieve the pressure. Sex. No strings and just the once, so there is no danger of anyone getting attached. It's a foolproof plan.
