The Player's Club

A standalone novel. It was supposed to be a simple assignment: stake out the golden boy hockey player Cole "Mac" Mackenzie as he exited the arena after a Los Angeles Blades game. Follow him. Get dirt on his personal life-something salacious to please the money-hungry gossip rag I worked for. But I missed the moment Mac left the building. Or so I thought... Twenty minutes later, I saw actual Mac exit after the media left. Apparently, he'd used a decoy to throw off the press-waiting until everyone left to make his getaway in private. I started following the real Mac and got more than I bargained for. He led me to a mystery building tucked away in the middle of the suburbs. Turned out, he was going to... a private club. A club that wasn't for the faint of heart-as I'd soon find out after sneaking in. I wasn't expecting to connect with Mac inside. Nor did I anticipate him to invite me back as his personal guest. What started as a simple assignment turned into something much more-my biggest fantasy I never knew I had. This wasn't about the tabloid story anymore. I lied to my boss, told him there was nothing to see. Meanwhile, I kept returning to the club. I was addicted to unraveling the mysteries of Mac's world. Addicted to the man who lit a fire inside me. But-with my own secret-it was only a matter of time before I got burned.
