Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Nine strict clauses. One narrow hallway. And a fake marriage that feels dangerously real.DelaneyI am a process, not a personality. At four hundred and seventy-five dollars an hour, my job is to keep my clients at arm's length, count the minutes, and win. Professional athletes? In my experience, they're walking disasters waiting to happen.Then Mateo Reyes sits across my conference table.He's the veteran captain of Blackwell FC-an Argentine midfield maestro with split knuckles, broad shoulders, and four points standing between his team and their first championship in franchise history. But someone behind the scenes just secretly pulled his visa extension. Come December thirty-first, his right to live and play in the country is dead.I can't represent him and marry him, so I hand off his legal file and draft a contract of our own. Nine non-negotiable clauses. Split household expenses. Separate accounts. An eighteen-month review. And an exit clause to ensure neither of us gets trapped.It was supposed to be strictly paperwork.Until I move into his loft, and he starts making my coffee exactly right, warming my cold hands, and looking at me like I'm the only prize that has ever mattered.MateoSixteen years of professional soccer taught me that nobody hands you anything for free. I've spent a decade running midfield for other people, playing through bad knees and taped ankles, waiting for someone to count me first.Delaney Quinn counts everything down to the cent.She thinks this marriage is a procedural rescue. She thinks sharing a small loft, one bathroom, and a hallway too tight to pass without brushing skin is just temporary logistics.She's wrong.I fell the moment she stood in that glass office and told me to my face what she thought of me. Now someone in the front office is trying to sabotage my career-and dragging her firm's name through the dirt to do it.They can threaten my playing contract. They can try to take the title. But they will never touch my wife.Tropes & Book Highlights: - Spicy Sports Romance (Elite professional soccer / football)- Marriage of Convenience / Green Card Marriage- Forced Proximity & Roommates (Tight loft, single bathroom, one bed)- He Falls First & Hard ("I fell first... and I've never once wanted it back")- Legal Drama & Workplace Intrigue (Lawyer x former client boundaries)- Protective Caregiver Hero (Acts of service, cooking dinner, warming her hands, adjusting every chair)- High-Heat Open Door (Dirty talk, praise, emotional intensity)Scoring the Attorney is a full-length, high-spice standalone sports romance featuring a guarded corporate attorney, a fiercely devoted team captain, simmering domestic intimacy, and a guaranteed HEA.
