One thing I need to decide for myself … am I playing to win, or playing for keeps?

Angelica Bryant

Football is my passion. Right now, I have a chance to make my dream of being the best midfielder in the Women's Aussie Rules competition a reality. And soon I'll finish my studies and succeed in a role in sports management. For now, working in my dad's bar pays the bills. Even if he used to be a world–famous soccer legend and can't care less about Aussie Rules.

I won't let anything get in my way. Not even the hot–as–hot one–night stand who, oh yes, just turned out to be Jaxon Flint, one of Australia's most successful sports agents … and he's offered me a job. We've agreed we have to forget about our attraction to both stay on the track we've laid out for ourselves. So why does the idea of being with Jaxon make me want to take the biggest risk of my life? It's game on.

I told her my name was Jack. She told me her name was Angel. But an angel she wasn't when I took her home for the most amazing night of my life. I picked her up in a sports bar … but I never expected her to turn out to be the rising star of the new Women's Aussie Rules football competition. Or a natural at handling ego–fuelled sports superstars. I knew Angie was someone I had to hire … and a star I would be lucky to represent. Those are both good reasons to stay away from her. And after the way I failed my sister, I know I should stay away from someone so driven to excel. So why can't I get it out of my head that I want to be everything to my Angel?
