I hate Harry Stone.
Before I’d even met the selfish former pro hockey player turned CEO, he was at the top of my shit list.
The entire city of Chicago thinks he’s God’s gift to humanity, but I know the truth.
He knocked up my best friend and then ditched her when she needed him most.
She got sick after that, and before she passed away, she chose me to raise her newborn daughter.
I just need Harry to sign away his rights to the little girl who means everything to me.
Unfortunately, it’s not quite that simple.
To stay in his daughter’s life, I end up moving in with the man I detest. Loathe. Despise.
Hating Harry Stone is the easiest thing I’ve ever done.
But slowly discovering a way to not hate him?
Now that, I didn’t see coming.
Pompous Player is a secret baby/enemies to lovers/sports romance inspired by Cocky Bastard.

NOVEMBER RELEASES
Brenda Rothert brings us another fabulous story as part of the Cocky Hero Club. Fans will recognize the familiar setting from her Chicago Hockey series. Be aware--this is NOT a sports romance. Our hero did play hockey at one time but has been several years removed from the sport. We do get some interaction as part of a fund raiser with the Chicago team but otherwise, Harry is a workaholic successful businessman.
What he doesn't expect is to find out he is a father. But for all his faults, being a father has made him melt. You will swoon over Harry even with his love/hate feelings about Winter. He is all in for baby Avery.
Winter is temporary guardian for Avery until paternity can be established. Seeing that he needs some help with baby everything, Harry asks Winter to stay and help him care for her. Slowly, the hate googles come down and they realize what good people are hidden underneath.
Great progression of enemies to lovers. I enjoyed getting to know each of them in their own right. Loved the two of them together!
Another great read from this author!
