ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 1, 2020

The contract with Major League Soccer was supposed to help repair my damaged reputation.

Then I discovered that I’d made a deal with the devil: the player I’m supposed to recruit is none other than the bad boy, star Premier League footballer, Rush McKenzie.

British. Tattooed. Sexy. A man currently at the center of a huge scandal.

The goal? To convince him to stay in the States.

But what’s wrong with a little fun in the meantime? No strings. No sweet nothings. Just a way to pass the time while we’re both struggling to prove our true selves to the world.

If someone found out our relationship was anything more than professional, it would only serve to prove all our critics right.

***

I never should have agreed to take the fall.

But I did and I’m a man of my word.

Even if it means risking everything I’ve worked for.

The only bright side is Lennox Kincade.

Gorgeous. Defiant. Rumor-tainted. Totally off-limits.

Sharing a house with the gorgeous sports agent should have been a fun distraction from the turmoil. Someone to help pass the time while the tensions back home die down.

But what started as nothing, ends up as something I never saw coming.

REVIEW: HARD TO HOLD is the second instalment in K.Bromberg’s contemporary, adult PLAY HARD erotic romance series focusing on the Kincade sisters-sports agents who work for the family owned Kincade Sports Management (KSM). This is UK soccer (footballer) Rush McKenzie, and sports agent Lennox Kincade’s story line. HARD TO HOLD can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lennox and Rush) HARD TO HOLD follows the building romance and relationship between American sports agent Lennox Kincade, and British soccer star Rush McKenzie. Rush McKenzie is currently hiding in America following a sporting scandal that could all but destroy his burgeoning career but Rush would quickly discover that the American MLS (Major League Soccer) is scouting our hero using sports agent Lennox Kincade, a former pageant beauty who works for her father’s KSM agency. All is not quite what is seems when it comes to Lennox Kincade, and in defiance of her family’s wishes, embarks on a solo mission when Major League Soccer contracts our heroine to ‘seduce’ one of the UK’s most notorious stars. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Lennox and Rush, and the potential fall-out as Rush’s time in America comes to a close.

Lennox Kincade struggles with her position within the family and at KSM. Believing she isn’t worthy, and the family is judging her based on prior performance, Lennox finds herself adrift, accepting a contract that is about to place our heroine in a precarious position. Rush McKenzie is currently hiding from a PR nightmare, a nightmare not of his making but a debt owed, has to be paid, and Rush becomes the fall-guy for a teammate whose personal life is about to implode.

The relationship between Lennox and Rush is one of immediate attraction but Lennox knows Rush is only in America to hide from the world but refuses to talk about what happened or why. With issues of trust beating at our story line couple, Lennox struggles to believe she is worthy of love, and Rush battles with the pull between Lennox, and his career back home. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including Lennox’s sisters- Dekker Kincade and Hunter Maddox (Hard to Handle #1), Chase, Brexton, and their father Kenyon Kincade; Rush’s teammate Rory Matheson; rival sports agent Finn Sanderson; head of MLS Cannon Garner, and Lennox’s best friend Johnny.

HARD TO HOLD is a story of family and friendships, betrayal and revenge; secrets and lies, seduction, commitment and love. The premise is compelling and captivating; the romance is steamy and provocative; the characters are animated and charismatic. HARD TO HOLD is a wonderful addition to K.Bromberg’s Play Hard sports romance series.
