The Beautiful Game (Neon FC Book 2)
About
Fresh off the plane from Denmark, Lars Madsen is ready to embrace life in Las Vegas as the new star for the city’s professional soccer team. When he stepped on American soil, his goal was to live the American dream - big truck, big house, and a boat - so maybe a wife too? He is at a time in his life when settling down and starting a family sounds appealing. However, the last thing that Lars expects is that his snarky, ice-cold neighbor with haunting eyes would be the girl to play games with his heart.
Alyssa Brown knows better than to trust men—especially happy-go-lucky athletes like Lars. Alyssa Brown has lived in Las Vegas since joining the women’s professional soccer team three years earlier. Living in her modest house amongst Vegas’ glitzy and glamorous pro athletes and casino moguls, Alyssa’s past mistakes and a devastating heartbreak have convinced her to swear off all men. The last thing she needs is her annoyingly cheerful new neighbor trying to melt her icy walls with his ever-present smiles.
What starts as a reluctant friendship turns into something more with a little TV binge-watching, some fake dating, and confronting their pasts pushing them closer and closer together. From the craggy desert hills of Las Vegas to the sun-soaked beaches of Hawaii, Lars and Alyssa play the beautiful game, both on and off the field.
Author’s Note: The Beautiful Game is a full-length romance novel with spicy bedroom scenes. It can be read as a standalone or as the second book in the Neon FC Series.
