Author Robyn M. Ryan delivers a light and fresh sports romance where a fake relationship fails into a happily ever after.

When Tampa Suns star David Martin welcomes his younger sister to Tampa to attend grad school, he doesn’t know she left behind a messy breakup with a manipulative ex. Relieved to be thousands of miles away, Kim seeks to find herself again by completing a challenging one-year degree program. And swearing off relationships.

Haunted by making the final out in college baseball’s National Championship, captain Chatham “Spence” Spencer commits to another season, bypassing the MLB draft. The charismatic All-American shortstop vows to lead the team to a second chance at the national title—and take the extra classes needed to graduate. He has no time for extracurricular activities despite the attention of the many who hope to score a date with the popular athlete.

But when Kim literally trips over Spence at a game, they both experience an attraction they’ve never felt before. They agree to stay just friends - without benefits. But when Kim’s ex shows up, and Spence steps forward to declare that they’re in a relationship, lines start to blur.

When ambitions collide with matters of the heart, Spence and Kim must determine what it truly means to win. Can either deliver a winning play that ensures the other’s success, even if it means sacrificing personal happiness?

WINNING PLAY includes a protective older brother (who happens to be an NHL Hockey Player), a manipulative ex, and a fake relationship that fails into a happily ever after. 

The perfect read for fans of light and fresh sports romances.
