    About this ebook

    A Sports Downunder Romance

    Isabel Deans has a secret—she's always lusted after Tyler Jameson. Call it an unfortunate infatuation with her brothers' best friend. A surprise meeting at rugby training brings a provocative proposition. One month of hot sex then they'll both walk away with no tears, no drama.

    Issy isn't a fool. She says yes. Let the month begin. Each touch between them sizzles with pure magic. Passionate. Intense and even better than she imagined. Issy is riding high on Tyler and her hot prospects as a representative rugby player until reality steps in with a forward pass…

      Blindside

      A Note For Readers

      Dear Readers,

      New Zealanders love their sport, and I’m no exception. Blindside is the second book in a loosely connected series called Sports Downunder. Each story stands alone and features either rugby or netball, which are my two favorite sports. All the stories are set in Auckland, New Zealand, and they feature the same teams. Only the players are different.

      Blindside is a rugby term, which means the space between the ball and the nearest touchline (side boundary of the pitch). I thought the term made an excellent title since it connects my rugby playing heroine and her relationship with the hero who certainly blindsided her with his reappearance in her life.

      If you enjoy this story, visit my website to learn about my other books and, whatever your reading experience, please consider leaving a review for Blindside.

      Chapter One

      O H MAN, HAVE YOU SEEN the replacement coach? Angela, the Auckland Jets’ star winger, bounded into the changing rooms, dressed in sweats with her rugby boots dangling over her shoulder by their laces. She shook her umbrella, scattering raindrops over everyone in the vicinity, and kissed her fingertips with loud moans of sexual appreciation. An ass to die for and the rest of the package isn’t too shabby.

      The players who had already arrived for training started firing questions. Who was he? Was he single? Did he have a girlfriend?

      Isabel Issy Deans grinned and moved her gear farther down the drafty changing room, out of range of the dripping umbrellas and equally wet teammates arriving for training. Rain rattled the tin roof, drowning out anything but a shout while the winter wind whistled through the open door. She shivered, whipped her good work jumper over her head and traded it for a faded training jersey.

      His name is Tyler Jameson and he’s coaching us until the end of the season since Allen is sick. He’s just returned from playing rugby in Japan because he wants to coach now that his contract with the Japanese club has expired, he’s single and you’re right. The man’s a babe. Patricia Coates, another new arrival, fluttered her lashes in a sultry wink. With a mighty fine ass.

      Everyone shrieked with laughter apart from Issy. She froze in the middle of peeling panty hose down her legs. Tyler Jameson. Why of all the coaches in the world did it have to be her neighbor and teenage crush Tyler Jameson? She hadn’t even known he’d returned home, but then maybe he wasn’t staying with his parents.

      Issy rummaged for her socks and attempted to breathe through the nerves that tromped in spiked boots through the pit of her stomach. She’d thought her crush on Tyler had faded. After all, she hadn’t thought about him for months. Heck, she’d even dated a few times this year between rugby training and work. She hadn’t thought about Tyler during her engagement. Well, not much, she amended with a sliver of guilt.

      Her heart dived into uneven palpitations and she had to wipe her moist palms on her jersey. A simple fact. Tyler Jameson made her nervous. Clumsy. Her fingers turned to thumbs and her feet inexplicably grew when she was around him. During the throes of her crush her lack of coordination had left her mortified, but these days she usually managed to regain her equilibrium after an hour or so of embarrassment. Maybe by the time she reached old age, she’d get the nerves down to a minute of crazy.

      Or not.

      She groaned while she wriggled out of her tight black skirt and exchanged it for black leggings. She had one goal this year—to make the Black Ferns, New Zealand’s female representative rugby team. If Tyler Jameson had his normal effect on her, she might as well kiss her chances of making the Ferns goodbye. No! Somehow, she’d get him out of her system for good. She would make the team as planned.

      A sharp knock sounded on the changing room door. Ladies, you decent in there? Can I come in?

      Yep, it was Tyler Jameson all right. She’d recognize his gravelly voice
