Romance
Three people. Three motives. Three reasons.
When the game leaves the field in the second book in the USA Today bestselling BY HIS GAME series and mixes with sex, lies, and betrayal, the future isn't the only thing on the line...
Macey Kelly has sworn off men. Unless they’re going to zip in and out of her apartment—and her vagina—quicker than they can give her an orgasm, she’s not interested. Finding out her boyfriend of three years got her cousin pregnant was a total confidence knock. Luckily for Macey, confidence is
something she has in abundance, so all Mitch’s asshole move did was make her pretty cynical toward men.
The last thing Jack Carr needs at the start of the season is for a dark-haired, sexy as sin, gyspyesque beauty to be consuming his thoughts. Football is his life, which leaves no time for girls. Unless they’re the love ‘em and leave ‘em girls. Becoming one of the best running backs the league has ever seen by racking up the yards is his top priority… not bedding Macey Kelly, despite her affinity for blow jobs and total sexual abandon.
Avoiding each other is the perfect solution, but when your best friends are in a serious living together kind of relationship, that isn’t always an option. Sometimes, sex on tap is the easiest option. And the sweetest.
Until Mitch shows up with a bombshell that could shatter Macey’s perfectly carved out life. It’s been a year, but he isn’t giving her up, not now he has a chance at winning her back. And he knows her buttons. Every single one of them.
Unfortunately for him, Jack Carr isn’t a loser. The star running back has his eye on the Vince Lombardi—and on Macey. But seeing her hanging between them both isn’t something he’s down with, not when he discovers why she’s so against anything more-ish, as she puts it.Macey quickly realizes she’s the ball being passed between two desperate yet opposing teams, and that only one of them can score the touchdown. But will the winner be the guy she lived with and loved for three years, or will the winner be the guy who understands her and makes her body come alive?
In this game, someone will be sidelined, and calling the play isn’t always as easy as it seems.

Author Bio:
By day, New York Times and USA Today bestselling New Adult author Emma Hart dons a cape and calls herself Super Mum to two beautiful little monsters. By night, she drops the cape, pours a glass of whatever she fancies - usually wine - and writes books.
Emma is working on Top Secret projects she will share with her followers and fans at every available opportunity. Naturally, all Top Secret projects involve a dashingly hot guy who likes to forget to wear a shirt, a sprinkling (or several) of hold-onto-your-panties hot scenes, and a whole lotta love.
She likes to be busy - unless busy involves doing the dishes, but that seems to be when all the ideas come to life.

EXCERPT:
EXCERPT:
“Mitch.” I spit his name like the poison he
is. “Seems he has a message for me.”
“Doesn’t matter,” Macey mutters, walking
into the kitchen.
She reaches for the tequila bottle, but I
dart forward and spin her so her back is against the counter. No way is she
drowning her shit in a tequila bottle this time. No fucking running.
“Leah says otherwise, so, M, why don’t you
tell me about his message for me?”
“I said it doesn’t matter!” Macey’s eyes
flash with an anger and vulnerability stronger than I’ve ever noticed before.
“It does to me!” I yell, leaning into her.
My eyes search her face. “It fucking matters to me, babe, so spit it the hell
out.”
“I said. It. Doesn’t. Matter.”
“I say you’re full of shit.” My mouth moves
to her ear. “You gonna tell me or do I hafta fuck it out of you, huh? I’m not
averse to either, but his name could really kill the mood when my cock is
inside you.”
Macey shoves at me and I release her. She
storms away from me, toward her room, then stops. “You wanna know? You really
want to know what that asshole has to say to you?”
“Believe me, babe. I’d love him to say this
bullshit to me. Seems he’s a pussy who has to use his ex-girl to tell me
though. So let’s paraphrase. I’d love to know what that asshole has to get you
to say to me, okay? Enlighten me, baby. Go ahead.”
“‘Tell your fuck buddy he’s playing to win
a whole lot more than the Super Bowl this season,’” she whispers. “Or something
along those lines. Close enough, I guess.”
Every nerve in my body goes on high alert.
Electric jolt after jolt booms through me, my adrenaline peaking with his
threat. The threat he can’t even fucking say to my face. More than that, every
protective instinct in my body roars to life louder than an MC club starting
their bikes. I feel those words crawling over my fucking skin, almost
paralyzing in their determination but laughable in their weakness.
“Baby.” I move toward Macey, determined,
certain, strong.
She breathes heavily, her eyes screwed
shut, her fists clenched at her sides.
“Look at me.”
She shakes her head.
I grab her jaw and force her head up.
“Look. At. Me.”
Her eyes open, and in them, I see a roaring
sea of fear and uncertainty tinted with resignation to the words she expects.
The words she won’t hear.
“What?” Her whispered word is barely
audible.
“If you don’t know the rules, you don’t
play the game,” I rasp. “Now, Mitch? He thinks he knows the rules. He thinks he
can come back into your life and dictate shit his way. I think he’s sorely
fucking mistaken, because he has no idea who he’s messing with.” My fingers
creep around to the back of her neck, and her back flattens against the wall.
“I play a game every day of my life, baby. I know more rules than you can ever
believe exist. He thinks he can meet you for a half-assed drink and threaten
me? He’s a joke. I laugh. Really, I do.”
“What?” she breathes again.
“If your fucking ex thinks he can walk back
into your life, into my life, and threaten me with taking something that is
inconceivably, irrevocably, indisputably fucking mine, he has the shock
of his life coming to him.” My words are growled into her ear. “Let him
play, baby. He has no idea what he’s just done.”
BLINDSIDED INFO:
SYNOPSIS:
From Emma Hart, the New York Times bestselling author of the Game series, comes a brand new series where the game is realer, the tension is tighter, the sex is hotter, and the stakes are the highest of all…
Two people. Two agendas. Two games.
What happens when the out-there It-Boy of football meets the secret It-Girl of fashion?
As the daughter of Hollywood’s sweetheart, Leah Veronica can’t even buy a coffee without finding her face on a magazine stand, so it’s no wonder she’s launching her first fashion line in secret. With it debuting at New York Fashion Week in just under a month, extra time in the spotlight is the last thing she needs.
The son of the best quarterback the league has ever seen, filling legendary shoes as the L.A. Vipers’ quarterback was inevitable for Corey Jackson. So was meeting Leah Veronica—the first girl to hand him his ass without putting a hair out of place.
Getting the handsome, prickly blonde into his bed becomes his number one goal. But getting the sexy, over-confident footballer the hell away from her becomes Leah’s—at least until she realizes the best way to do that is to give him what he wants.
If only it was that simple.
When Corey discovers who she is, and private photos of Hollywood’s finest find their way online, everything they thought they knew is thrown into disarray.
And when secrets are exposed and hearts are shattered, they have to figure out if they’ve been blindsided by love or reality, and if it’s worth running the extra yard to win the game they never meant to play.
