She tackles. He tumbles. They both fall... hard.

I'm a rugby player in the twilight of my career. Younger, stronger, prettier women are joining the team, and my endorsement deals are drying up. Nobody wants a grumpy, washed-up, burned out has-been to advertise their brand.

When my new teammate sets me up on a blind date with her brother, I begrudgingly agree for the sake of team harmony... until I find out I already know her other brother.

Gymnast Tony Gonzales is the bane of my existence. I hit rock bottom the morning after our Olympics hookup three years ago; I stopped drinking entirely, and I've changed my whole life around since then.

Now, he's everywhere, a taunting reminder of every challenge and failure I've endured. But the more time I spend with him, I start to wonder if maybe I was too quick to judge. It's not his fault he's tangled up with all of my worst memories. And I can't deny his drive - to succeed in gymnastics, to go to vet school, to take care of his family - is incredibly sexy.

Rugby is brutal. Gymnastics is intense. But nothing has ever felt as dangerous as falling for each other.

RUCK ME HARDER is an enemies to lovers, best friend's brother, they're both athletes romance featuring a tattooed, leather jacket-wearing, motorcycle-riding gymnast and the black cat women's rugby superstar who just wants to be loved. There is no third-act breakup.
