From the international bestselling author of The Simple Wild and Ten Tiny Breaths comes a new second-chance, hate-to-love romance.
The Player Next Door by, USA Today bestselling author, K.A. Tucker, is now live!
Scarlet Reed has returned to Polson Falls, convinced that twelve years away is long enough to shed her humiliating childhood identity as the town harlot's daughter. With a teaching job secured and an adorable fixer-upper to call home, things in her life are finally looking up.
That is, until she finds out that Shane Beckett lives next door.
Shane Beckett, the handsome and charismatic high school star quarterback who smashed her heart. The lying, cheating player who was supposed to be long gone, living the pro football dream and fooling women into thinking he's Prince Charming. Shane Beckett, who is as attractive as ever and flashing his dimples at her as if he has done no wrong.
Scarlet makes it abundantly clear that old wounds have not been forgotten. Neighbors they may be, but friends they most certainly are not. She won't allow herself to fall for the single father and firefighter again, no matter how many apologies he offers, how many times he rushes to her aid, or how hard he makes her heart pound.
But as she spends more time with him, she begins to fear that maybe she's wrong. Maybe Shane has changed.
And maybe this time she's the one playing herself—out of a chance at true happiness.

Wow. I loved this flirty, drama filled contemporary romance by KA Tucker! The writing style in this one is different than I have come to know of her usual style but I read and loved this all the same. The story takes place in Polson Falls, Pennsylvania. Scarlet has just returned home after being away for 10 years. A teaching job and the house she always dreamed of owning has come up for sale and she cannot pass up the opportunity for a change. That is until she finds out the next door neighbour is the guy that broke her heart at 17 and one she never really got over. The flirty banter between Scarlet and Shane I just loved and their connection was undeniable. Their interactions were addicting and I couldn’t get enough. There were so many side characters in this one that added to the story. Scarlet’s best friend, Justine. Scarlet’s mom Dottie. Shane’s evil ex, Penelope. Shane’s son Cody and more. Although I really felt sorry for Cody being an 11 year old boy stuck with a crazy mom and drama amongst his parents he could never escape and I have to say the drama with Penelope was A LOT at times! Regardless I still loved it all the same and would love to read more of this type of romance by KA Tucker in the future. If you are up for a quick, fun, steamy read with lots of drama this one is for you!
