DELUXE EDITION--featuring stunning yellow sprayed edges!
From New York Times bestseller Sara Raasch, sports romance gets a Dungeons & Dragons makeover with the next book in the Magic and Romance series that follows half-giant Orok, forced into a PR relationship with a feisty, fan-favorite cheerleader.
Orok Monroe: Half-giant. Rawball defensive tank on the Philadelphia Hellhounds. Follower of Urzoth...only Orok's tired of following the god of aggression.
Alexo Warden: Cheerleader. Human? A dancer with a stadium's worth of secrets.
When Orok saves Alexo at a bar, fans go feral for the star athlete protecting the pint-size dude-in-distress. The Hellhounds propose that Orok and Alexo start a PR relationship to put a positive spin on Orok's god. Orok is set to refuse and renounce Urzoth--but that wouldn't let him see Alexo again.
So, like a sap, he agrees.
As Orok tries to drop the
fake part of their fake-relationship, Alexo's dangerous truths emerge. To save him, Orok will have to sacrifice far more than his divine association.
