Sydney Smoke Rugby Series

Sydney Smoke captain and rugby god Tanner Stone wants to be interviewed about as much as he wants to snap an Achilles, but it may just be his chance for a rematch with his high-school sweetheart. Matilda Kent’s big mouth has landed her an interview with the one man she hoped to never see again - her high-school boyfriend who broke her heart. But, with a promotion on the line, she’s prepared to play nice while dishing the dirt on the guy. An epic war of words leads to a flurry of action both on the field and between the sheets, and this time winner takes all.

Harper Nugent might have a little extra junk in her trunk, but her stepbrother calling her out on it is the last straw.... When rugby hottie Dexter Blake witnesses the insult, he surprises Harper by asking her out - in front of her dumbass brother. Score! Of course, she knows it’s not for reals, but Dex won’t take no for an answer.

After a long history with crappy guys, high-school teacher Em Newman is going man-vegan. Four months of revirginization has opened her eyes to her doormat imitation, but baby’s got spine now and some smooth-talking - even if he is sinfully hot, a rugby player who won’t be adding her as a notch anytime soon.

Country boy Ryder Davis has the world at his feet. A stellar rugby career, a winning way with women, and a beach view that keeps him in blue sky and bikini babes. He's living the dream. The last thing he needs is a Great Dane called Tiny destroying his feng shui. Dog whisperer Juliet Morgan is about to start living her dream and she's counting down the days. In two months, she'll finally be moving to Italy and no man's going to stop her this time. Not even a rugby superstar with a badly behaved pooch.

Eleanor is content with her boring life—mostly. She's even fine being the quirky sister in a bevy of beauties. So imagine her surprise when one of her brother's Sydney Smoke mates hits on her at an engagement party. Her. The weird sister, who wears vintage dresses and prefers her books to parties. Bodie is shocked the next morning to find the soft, sexy virgin who seduced him with corsets is his best friend's little sister. If he could kick his own ass, he would. And two months later, she's got an even bigger surprise for him.

Sydney Smoke star recruit Kyle Leighton can't believe the best sex of his life was just a one-night stand. He didn't even know her name...until she shows up at the locker room two weeks later and he connects the dots. Val King. Coach has one hard and fast rule: Never, ever date his daughter. And not only did Kyle break that rule, but he wants to break it over and over again. In the shower. Against a wall. On every flat surface in his home. But the coach and his daughter share more than just DNA. Their issues run deep and fooling around with her could widen the family chasm.

Donovan Bane loves playing rugby for the Sydney Smoke. And if that means he has to keep his sexuality a secret, that's a sacrifice he's prepared to make. He doesn't want to be the first pro rugby player in Australia to officially come out while still playing. Which means no dating, no relationships, no sex. Nothing but playing ball. Beckett Stanton is out and proud—and not looking for a guy who isn't. Unfortunately, on the first day of his new job working for the Sydney Smoke, he locks eyes with Donovan Bane and he's a goner. For some reason this man is ticking all his boxes.

Cosmetic tattoo artist Orla Stewart doesn't do anything in half measures. She went from being the ultimate party animal to living a life that's ridiculously straight and narrow. Turns out, cancer can change a girl. A lot. Adios to delicious cheeses, boozy dance parties, and easy men. Hel-lo to celibacy and a sweet house sitting gig with a massive pool. Until one very hot, very unwelcome intruder turns things upside down.
