Deal Breaker

Performed as a duet, the breathlessly bright tones of Zara Hampton-Brown collide with the raw, commanding Scottish grit of Shane East in this ultimate grumpy/sunshine, enemies-to-lovers sports romance.

Her celebrity lifestyle might be his deal breaker, but his failure to protect her? That's hers . . .

Everyone loves Poppy. She’s pure sunshine vibes, and nobody is immune to her outrageous flirting. Nobody, that is, apart from her much older brother’s best friend, former Scottish rugby star, Rory Wallace.

The last thing Rory wants is a woman who represents everything he avoids: cameras, chaos and constant attention. The irony is that although Lady Poppy Sterling flirts with the world, the man she’s had a crush on since childhood can’t stand her. At least that’s what he tells himself.

It’s only when Rory's betrayal leaves Poppy vulnerable to both paparazzi and predators that he realises too late what he stands to lose . . .
