Izzy refused her father's billions and became a nurse practitioner at a children's hospital. So she was surprised when her father insisted that she attend a bachelor auction (where all proceeds benefit to the hospital she's at). In fact, he's bankrolling her to bid on Xavier, one of the football stars of his team, the Texas Titans. Xavier has a reputation as a playboy... different woman every week. But she can spend daddy's money for the kids... right? // Xavier loves football but hates the schmoozing that had to go with it. His agent plays up his playboy image to ignite a bidding war between his current team and Denver, his hometown. So who's the brunette that just bid half a mil for him? He liked Izzy until he learned that she's the owner's daughter... Must be a spoiled brat, throwing daddy's money around like that... and a conspiracy to keep him in Texas... // Xavier and Izzy have chemistry, even as they slowly learned that both had misunderstood each other. But with Xavier's contract war warming up, their loyalties and love will be tested to the breaking point...
Nice complications. You'll learn why Izzy refused to take a cent from her father (it's more than just "pride") and her step-family was also definitely anti-trope. In fact, the whole novel was decidedly anti-trope, it's brilliant. There's even an innocent explanation of her father's actions. 5/5
