An Enemies-to-Lovers Romantic Comedy

The Flip

You've heard of second chance romance, but what about third time's the charm? After being divorced three years, Megan Adams is desperate for marriage and a family before it's too late. When she tries to help her friend Shark upgrade his rugby team's reputation in the community, her attraction to him is rekindled all over again. Could he ever think of her as more than a friend--or is she risking one heck of a shark bite? When you score in rugby, it's called a try. When it comes to scoring with the ladies, Shark Kelly usually doesn't have to try. But when the captain of his rugby team takes a liking to his friend Megan, he tries to stop the jealous feelings he never expected to have. And there might be a lot of other things he'd be willing to try--if Megan is brave enough to swim with a shark. Author's Note: Thought the rest of the series is fairly light and funny, Shark just refused to conform.
