About The Book
For those who love confident heroines, cinnamon-roll athletes and opposites-attract romance with heat, humour and heart, The Right Player is a sexy, feel-good sports romance from USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author Kandi Steiner. This paperback edition includes exclusive bonus content not available in the ebook.
Belle Monroe has a three-date rule — and it works perfectly.
Three dates is long enough to have fun, avoid feelings and move on before things get messy. Belle is busy building her interior design business, living life on her own terms and refusing to be anyone’s idea of a good girl gone wrong.
Then she meets Makoa Kumaka.
Six-foot-five, devastatingly gorgeous and a hopeless romantic in a professional athlete’s body, Makoa has rules of his own. He does not rush. He does not play games. And he has no interest in being another temporary man in Belle’s rotation.
Belle doesn’t do waiting. She doesn’t do trust. She definitely doesn’t do love. But the more Makoa refuses to be what she expects, the harder it becomes to walk away.
Sexy, hilarious and unexpectedly tender, The Right Player is an opposites-attract sports romance about a woman who knows all the rules — and the one man who might finally be worth breaking them for.
