Playing with the Heartbreaker (Cardinal Ridge Sweet YA Romance)

She’s sworn off dating. He – the school’s biggest heartbreaker – has only ever wanted her .

My plan to forget my cheating ex by focusing on getting to–and winning–the high school soccer state championship is right on track. Take that, cocky athletes. I don’t need you.

Until I miss a game-winning goal, land myself on the bench, and make a deal with the school’s top-scoring striker to level-up my offensive skills in exchange for my insider knowledge of our town’s best breakfast food (It’s business, NOT a date!)

Rhoads Simpson can barely walk through the halls without tripping over yet another admirer determined to be the exception to his No Commitment rule. With his leather jacket and ever-present headphones, he’s a crooked-smiled puzzle every girl wants to solve.

But if he’s truly just a flirt with fleeting interests, why is he revealing the deeply personal reason he started his secret hobby, rescuing my failing fundraiser, and getting my favorite foods from three different diners?

Despite how close we’re getting, there’s still an important part of his life he’s holding back. Until I know it’s not a girlfriend or three, I won’t trust him with more than my footskills…even though I want to.

Playing with the school’s most notorious flirt might win me that trophy…but will it also break the fragile heart I’ve only just pieced back together?
