Mason Hale is a player. Rugby is his life. Even in the off season he works charity matches with his team and coaches kids to encourage love of the sport. This holiday season his focus is on the game, not the sidelines and flirting mums…Until she shows up.

Pity she doesn’t want anything to do with him.

But that makes the challenge more fun. Single mum Nyla Jennings will do anything for her son, Brady, including getting him to the NRL clinic run by the too-sexy-to-be-ignored player of the year, Mason Hale. But risking it all for a fast-talking flirt bomb isn’t on her list. Brady and her all-encompassing job at the restaurant come first. There’s no time for flirting, but she can’t shake the way Mason watches her to distraction, or how he gives her son his time and energy when no one else will.

Mason shouldn’t be who she wants, but she’ll break her own rules for the NRL star if he’s willing to prove he’s more than an arrogant player on and off the field.
