Kickstart My Heart: A football, friends to lovers, overheard, vacation romance (Games of Love Book 1)

There are more views about her engagement ending than her ex’s season opener! One overheard conversation during her engagement party shattered Maya Cox’s life in seconds. “She’s not that pretty, but she sure is loyal.” But it’s what her pro-football playing fiancé said next that completely humiliated her. Then the world got a hold of a video taken of her heartbreak, causing the situation to go viral in a matter of days. Needing to escape, Maya packs her bag and telephoto lens before heading out of the country for work. After she returns months later, she decides to take a small vacation at a vineyard in Italy. There’s just one hitch. When she arrives, Maya comes face to face with Troy Walsh—former kicker for the Oklahoma Lightning and her ex’s former teammate. He’s also a man she considered a friend before hashtags like #EngagementGate started trending. Troy is nothing but kind, steady, and loyal giving her the space she needs to become herself again. But the longer they spend together, his good looks, easy manner, and genuine heart make it impossible to resist advancing the forward line of their relationship from friends to something more. Much more. The more time they spend together, the more sparks fly. Troy encourages the woman Maya is—her fire, her fight, her fierce will to reclaim herself. But when her ex tries to reach out, will Maya forgive his cruel words or allow this former kicker to restart her heart?
