Not only that- she is also the manager’s daughter and is strictly off limits for any player on the team. Until Ryan finds out that Queenie is going to work as the new assistant for the team general manager. They trade secrets and do shots, and have a wild night with no expectation to see each other again. Ryan lets his guard just once: the night when he found out that he’s been lied to all his life, shocked, upset, and confused, he gets drunk with Queenie, a beautiful and lonely girl who’s had her own share of trouble. His older brother (uncle) has been in and out of prison a few times and is one of the reasons why his parents (grandparents) were very strict with Ryan and instilled in him a healthy respect for rules and acting sensibly at all times. He just recently found out that his older sister Hanna is really his mother, and his caring and sometimes interfering mother is ….his grandmother. Partly this can be explained by his family background. No lying, drunken one-night stands, no driving over the speed limit, or anything impulsive and chaotic. His job is to save and protect, be steady and reliable and have his team’s back. Ryan Kingston (AKA King) is a goalkeeper. I don’t know about you, but I find this kind of guy irresistible. There are very few (too few, in my opinion) books where the protagonist is a good man, caring and thoughtful, has principles and lives according to them. And yet, countless readers continue justifying their behaviour and finding excuses for them. Romance books are full of bad boys who swear, drink too much, treat their parents and friends with no respect and cheat on their partners.
