Jude Whittingham didn’t expect his football season would be spent in the stands recovering from injury. With rest and rehab his primary focus, Jude finds his mind is becoming as messed up as his Achilles tendon. It doesn’t help that Neva, one of his many ex-girlfriends, and the team’s nutritionist, has now been assigned to his case.
Neva has more to worry about than dealing with Jude. After a series of disastrous dates and time-wasting relationships, her hope of having a baby is fading. Neva's problem – no one has passed the audition phase or come close to being father material. Well, since Jude.
When a family seems to be out of reach for Neva, not only does Jude find out about her baby dream, but he also offers to help her out. Neva can’t think of a practical reason to say no, apart from the fact that their past should probably be left exactly there.
Jude might be able to give her a baby, but just because he can, does it mean she should?

This is the first installment in The Sacrifice Duet, a Forbidden Dark Romance. This story is set in The Society world. Azrael and Willow's slow burn romance is captivating. I liked the chemistry and the banter. Williow is such a wonderful character, feisty, smart, strong, and determined. Azrael is handsome, tortured, and enigmatic. The world building is complex, and fascinating. The story ends with a cliffhanger, and I am looking forward to read The Penitent, the next installment in the Duet.

“This is our second dance, Your Grace. Do you care about gossip?”
The dance started.
“Not at all. And you, my lady? Do you care about gossip?”
He led her through the steps with a strong yet gentle hand.
“I won’t be here long enough to take notice. To the ton, the gossip is only fun if they can watch their target squirm. I’d rather not be their source of entertainment. You, on the other hand, will have to endure it for weeks.”
He laughed as he spun her around. To him, the discomfort would be worth it.
With her in his arms, a spark grew into a flame that drew him closer to her with every step and every turn. Though he maintained the expected propriety, it was clear to anyone who cared to look that something was happening. An attraction that threatened to ignite into something… explosive.
Effie remained stoic, ice-queen-like. But her very stillness accentuated the tension between them. When she finally gazed into his eyes, she was caught in his web of desire, and he didn’t allow her a way out.
As the music came to an end, she was left breathless and flushed. The intense passion that had shone in her eyes was gone, replaced by her usual detached and aloof manner. Thornton wondered if he would need to constantly play music to keep her fiery desire alive, to melt away the icy barrier she erected around herself.
He escorted her off the dance floor and settled her with her mother.
“Thank you, Lady Euphemia. You made an ordinary waltz quite exciting.” He focused on her mother. “Thank you, ma’am, for an enjoyable evening.”
“Are you leaving so soon, Your Grace?” The duchess gave him a pained look, then glanced at Effie.
“Yes, I’m afraid so. I have things to prepare for an early morning meeting.”
He took his leave, letting Effie believe she’d won, but she didn’t know how persistent he could be.
As he reached the door across the room, he felt a sudden tug on his sleeve. Glancing to his right, he saw that it was Lady Euphemia. He was surprised when she tucked her arm in his.
“What are you up to, Thornton? You danced with me twice this evening. You assisted me with the challenge. You have the entire room whispering.”
He stopped and faced her. “What would you like me to do?” He glanced over her head at the people that filled the ballroom. “I can make an announcement that you are very much available.”
She pulled him out of the room. “You wouldn’t dare.”
They arrived at the door. “Mr. Gregory, His Grace’s carriage, please.”
The butler went outside to call up his carriage.
“No. I wouldn’t. I’ll think of a way to protect you.”
He saw his carriage coming into the drive. He pulled Effie into his arms and kissed her. He had wanted to do it since he spotted her hours ago.
He found her lips even softer than he had remembered, with a sweet and fresh taste. He allowed himself to deeply kiss her, passionate yet gentle, savoring every moment before finally pulling away. They stood staring into each other’s eyes, breathing heavily, the air thick with longing and desire.
“Something to remember me by,” he whispered in her ear.
He stepped back. The passion was back in Effie’s eyes. That’s the way he wanted to remember her. Effie. He kissed the tip of her nose and was gone.
When I was billeted with the Bukowskis, I made a mistake.
I didn’t lock Gracie Agnieska Bukowski down.
Instead, like a 16-year-old idiot, I became best friends with her brother, Kow, and now, the family considers me one of their own.
Until her, hockey was my only refuge. So, when I’m traded to the New York Stars, my first move is to change my number to 35. See, we made a vow, one that she might have forgotten, but I haven’t.
Gracie’s about to be swept off her feet.
I’m going to prove to her that not only is she not my sister…
End Game is a standalone brother's best friend, and the first book in the New York Stars Series, a hockey romance. This is a great start to the series. This full-length novel is longer than the average length. Liam and Gracie's slow burn romance is well written, sweet, and engaging. Liam is very handsome, supportive, and protective. Gracie is beautiful, kind, and caring. They are perfect for each other. I love the O’Donnelly! I liked it. Looking forward to more in the series!
