The Defender is a steamy sports romance featuring Vincent DuBois, the captain of a Premier League football club, and Brooklyn Armstrong, a sports nutritionist who happens to be his coach’s daughter. When a stalker forces Vincent to secretly move into a flat with Brooklyn, their forbidden attraction becomes impossible to ignore.

He has to play by the rules . . . but for her, he’d break them all.

As the captain of Blackcastle Football Club and one of the highest-paid athletes in the game, Vincent DuBois should be on top of the world.
​
But when his fame brings danger to his doorstep, he finds himself in his worst nightmare scenario – secretly sharing a flat with his coach’s daughter, knowing full well she’s far too big a temptation for him to resist.

When his new living arrangements escalate into a bet that throws them even closer together, he realizes he’s in deeper trouble than he thought.
​
He’s always played to win – but for her, he might just risk it all.
