Neither one of them can stay away from each other.
Rule number one of being a sports journalist. Never get too close to the players.
Rule number two. Oops, too late.
Nate Sandler is the franchise quarterback for the Harbor Bay Hawks. He is confident, infuriating, and way too charming for his own good.
Iāve made it my job to ask tough questions, while heās built a reputation of dodging them. Every time we are in the same room, the interviews turn into verbal sparring matches.
Especially when he makes a point to call me sweetheart in front of my peers. I should hate it. Instead, my pulse spikes for all the wrong reasons.
To top it all off, my boss assigns me to an exclusive interview with the same man who hates the press as much as he does losing. For the sake of my career, I canāt exactly turn it down. How hard can it be? Itās only a few weeks after all.
Well, the joke is on me because this isnāt as simple as I thought.Ā
Not when every smirk feels like a challenge and every touch feels like a dare. Instead of keeping things professional, Iām breaking every rule and boundary I set for myself.
Now the closer I get, the more I realize Nate is not the man I thought he was. And thatās a problem, because Iām falling for the one man who could derail my career with a single headline.
If Iām not careful, the story Iāve been chasing might not just cost me my career, but my heart too.
