The Hot Shot cover

Now in print with exclusive bonus content, Kristen Callihan's fan-favorite GAME ON series delivers another high-heat NFL romance packed with banter, tension, and the kind of chemistry that starts with a naked photoshoot and only gets more complicated from there. Perfect for fans of Elle Kennedy and emotionally addictive sports romance.

The first time Chess meets Finn Mannus, she asks him to strip.

It's photographer Chess Copper's job to get a good shot of the sexy NFL quarterback for a charity calendar. Finn is charming, cocky, and more interested in verbal foreplay than taking off his clothes. Chess is prickly, guarded, and not about to fall for a self-professed player. Even so, their chemistry is off the charts and impossible to ignore.

But Chess wants a real relationship. And Finn has never given anyone more than one night.

When fate leaves Chess without a home, Finn steps up and offers her his. They're roommates now. Friends without benefits. But the longer they live together, the more Finn realizes he doesn't just want her around. He wants it to be real. Permanent. The challenge? Convincing Chess to give this player a true shot at forever.

All's fair in love and football…game on.

Perfect for readers who love:

  • NFL football romance
  • Grumpy sunshine (she's the grump)
  • Roommates to lovers
  • Lust at first sight
