### The Play Hard Series, Book 1
He's the one man she's sworn to destroy—and the only one who makes her feel alive.
Sports agent Maeve Callahan has spent three years building her reputation in a league that doesn't want her there. She doesn't need complications. She definitely doesn't need Grayson Cole—arrogant, infuriating, and impossibly talented—signing with her rival firm and threatening everything she's worked for.
But when a contract dispute throws them into forced proximity, Maeve discovers that Grayson's sharp edges cut both ways. He challenges her at every turn, reads her like a playbook she never meant to write, and looks at her like she's the only play that matters.
The problem? She's starting to look back.
Their battles are legendary—boardrooms turned into war zones, sharp words traded like blows. But somewhere between the arguments and the heat that crackles when they're within ten feet of each other, the line between enemy and something far more dangerous begins to blur.
Grayson has always played to win. So has Maeve. The question isn't whether they'll destroy each other.
It's whether they'll survive wanting each other more.
*Hard to Handle* is a scorching, emotionally charged romance for readers who love their tension slow-burning and their payoff absolutely worth the wait. Once you meet Maeve and Grayson, you won't stop until the final page—and even then, letting go won't be easy.
