Drunk-texting a grumpy soccer star?
Best worst decision of my life.

Especially when the player is the sinfully handsome, foul-mouthed Holden Sanders… my new library assistant.

The benched bad boy needed an image makeover, I needed to save my job, and his star status was just what the library ordered to raise awareness for our fundraising campaign. The press can’t get enough of Mr. Growly reading to kids.

It’s win-win and completely platonic.

Until I need a shoulder to cry on after drowning my heartbreak in too many margaritas. I only typed that invitation to his brawny biceps and perfect pectorals for fun–I never meant to hit send. Holden isn’t the kind of guy to care about tears and feelings, least of all mine. He’s made it clear good girls aren’t his type.

But he shows up–with his strapping shoulder, a box of tissues, and a supersized bag of Doritos.

That’s when I realize there’s more to him than meets the eye.

One soulful, smoldering mistake of a kiss has me craving more, and the heat between us quickly builds to a blaze neither of us can control.

But I’m not the only one guarding secrets, and Holden’s might push us to the breaking point.

Even if I’m surrounded by books, I know better than to believe in storybook endings.

And yet, I want to believe… Because I know he’s a keeper.

He’s a Keeper is a standalone sports romance in the San Francisco Strikers series with a HEA.

I have read a number of sports romance books, I think that this is the first soccer one, but I may be wrong but either way, this book is fantastic.
Molly has a bubbly personality, she’s a librarian at a school and also a public library in San Francisco and Holden is a grumpy broody man who’s a Goalkeeper for the Strikers. Holden has devoted his life to playing especially after a bad breakup. He had been benched from soccer due to an injury and needs to be cleared to play again. They run into one another at the public library and sparks fly instantly. This was a beautiful slow-burn romance, seeing these two overcome their past and build something together was something out of a movie.
