Sports romance

Sports romance pairs competitive hearts with the one game they did not expect to lose. This shelf gathers 28 of Alisson Bento’s hockey, football, soccer and Formula 1 stories, set in locker rooms, college campuses and paddocks around the world. The tropes readers come back for are all here: the coach’s daughter who is strictly off limits, fake dating for the cameras, rivals to lovers on and off the field, the tutor and the quarterback, single-dad athletes and a few reverse harem teams who share far more than the ice. Expect banter, big gestures and steamy payoffs, with the occasional dark edge when a team crosses paths with the mob. Hockey fans should start with Off-limits Hockey; football lovers will find their playbook in Romance Football Anthology. Every book stands on its own as a complete love story, so you can jump in with whichever sport, trope or hero calls to you first, then follow the team for more.
