What happens when an almost thirty-year-old virgin agrees to let her Scottish footballer best friend give her some lessons in seduction?

Lots of banter, awkwardness, jealousy, and heat.

Midfielder Maclay “Mac” Logan is a loud-mouthed, tattooed ginger content with focusing on football. But when an adorably-freckled seamstress comes barreling into his life, he finds Netflix-And-Bickering with her to be his new favorite pastime.

Freya Cook is used to being the invisible woman with a needle and thread, offering cheeky punchlines as she helps dress London’s finest. She’s plus-sized in body and spirit, and other than her friendship with Mac, talking to the opposite sex is one skill she never mastered.

However, after one innocent game of Never Have I Ever, Mac offers to play Love Coach for Freya.

What neither of them see coming are the feelings that develop when the clothes come off.

Now they’re both about to learn the biggest lesson of all: Don't fall in love with your best friend.

 

I wake the next morning to a rough tongue touching my nipple. A smile spreads across my face as I open my eyes and expect to find Freya. My face falls when I see it’s her fucking demon of a cat laving at my pec like it’s going to produce milk at any moment.



“Fuck off, you wee bastard!” I bellow and shove the animal off my chest.



Hercules takes off down the hallway, and a snort echoes in the room. I turn my gaze to find Freya perched on a chair in the corner of her bedroom. She’s dressed in a long nightshirt, her red hair a wild mess of curls, and her makeup smudged like she was properly fucked last night. And she looks positively entertained.



“Did you just sit there and watch your cat violate me?” I croak, sitting up and rubbing my tender nipple.



She giggles and steadies herself so as not to spill the two cups of coffee in her hands. “I came in to bring you a coffee, but Hercules looked like he was warming up to you, so I just sat down here to not interrupt. I had no idea he was going to lick your tit.” She bursts out laughing all over again.



“You and I are in a fight then,” I reply gruffly, propping myself up on the headboard of her bed. “That was disturbing.”



She nods, her face still tormented with poorly concealed laughter. “For us all.”

Blindsided is a slow burn friends to lovers romance, with equal parts heat, heart and humor.  If you've read the Harris Brothers series, you will be familiar with the characters of Freya and Mac, although you can easily read this title as a standalone. 

Mac is a charming and big hearted professional soccer star, whilst Freya is a quirky, insecure seamstress.  She has a tendency to blend into the background and her vulnerabilities are quite relatable.  She's also incredibly loving, caring and patient. 

Whilst entertaining and light hearted there is still an element of angst to Mac and Freya's story. 

Both characters are quick witted, their banter is fun, self deprecating and funny whilst oozing sexual tension.
