Dropkick for Love
She fought her way back from the sidelines. He’s her brother’s best friend—and the coach she never expected to face again. Love was never part of the game plan.
After a career-threatening injury, fly-half Deborah Lategan is back in the squad, determined to reclaim her place—and to finally quiet the doubts that have haunted her. What she doesn’t need is Rohan de Villiers, her older brother’s best friend and the man who’s always been too critical, too distant… and now, suddenly, too close.
Rohan knows the rules: no complications, especially not with his best friend’s sister. But Debs is no longer the girl he once tried to protect—she’s fierce, focused, and heartbreakingly out of bounds.
As team tensions rise and old sparks ignite, their growing connection becomes harder to ignore. With reputations at stake and the pressure of professional sport closing in, they’ll have to decide if a second chance at love is worth risking everything.
A slow-burn, emotionally layered rugby romance about forbidden love, second chances, and the courage to cross the line—for the one person who’s always been worth it.
