Synopsis
Maisie Hawthorne doesn't do boyfriends.
Or girlfriends. Or relationships. Burned in the past, the scrappy bartender knows better than to trust a pretty face. Dex O'Brien is gorgeous (with or without the scar). Pierced, tatted, annoyingly attractive. She knew he was trouble even before she saw him fight. Her mind told her to stay away—but her heart wouldn't listen.
Dex O'Brien doesn't do love.
Not the romantic kind anyway. Sure, he loves his family, would defend them with his dying breath. And yeah, he loves baseball and fighting too. But falling in love? No thanks. Too messy. Dex couldn't care less, especially about the bookish bartender with the smart mouth and beautiful eyes.
She needs money to pay the bills. He needs a tutor to keep playing ball—even if he'll never admit it. When the Southern U Wolves recruit Maisie to tutor Dex, tempers flare and sparks fly.
The #1 lesson they'll both learn?
Love is the total knockout you never see coming.
