Risky Game
by Tracy Solheim

In the next sizzling sports romance from the author of Foolish Games, Brody is at the top of his game... until Shannon changes the rules.

Baltimore Blaze tight end Brody Janik is a natural-born football star. At twenty-seven, his record-breaking athletic performance and his cover-boy good looks have turned him into a household name. But Brody’s hiding a major secret behind his charming public persona: a health condition that may cut his career short.

PhD candidate Shannon “Shay” Everett works multiple jobs to put herself through school—including an unpaid internship with the Blaze training department. Strapped for cash, Shay answers the call of an NFL gossip blogger to uncover personal details about the Blaze players. Sneaking into the locker room one night, she gets entangled in Brody’s secret...and swept up by his charm.

Brody isn’t sure what to make of the gawky girl with the whiskey eyes, especially when he discovers she was snooping. His first instinct is to turn her in as a snitch, but she could destroy him by sharing his secret. Instead, he decides to keep her close...perhaps closer than either of them originally intended...



Tracy Solheim's Bio

My creative writing career started in the fourth grade when I published my first book. It was a bestseller—mainly because my dad bought all ten copies I’d made on the school’s prehistoric Xerox machine. From there, I moved to newspaper reporting with a monthly column in a local newspaper. A bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Tennessee landed me in Washington, DC, where I wrote reports for Congress while pursuing a Master’s degree in Legislative Affairs from The George Washington University. Aside from a brief stint in television production for NBC Sports at the Seoul Olympics, most of my early writing consisted of crafting lengthy government reports. Not exactly the most scintillating backlist, I know! My creative writing projects had to wait until I could squeeze them in between my paying gig and my family’s busy schedule.

In 2009, my first work of fiction, GAME ON, was recognized as a finalist for the prestigious Maggie Award for Excellence. The following year, my second manuscript, LESS THAN PERFECT, was a finalist in the same contest. In June, 2012, Berkley Publishing contracted with me to publish GAME ON and two additional books.

Currently, I live in Johns Creek, Georgia, with my husband, two teenagers, an aging Labrador Retriever and a pony named after a monkey. When I’m not writing, I enjoy photography, cooking, and reading—shocker, right? Be sure to friend me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter.
