The Striker

Ana Huang’s latest sports romance is a tantalizing, forbidden love story with all the steamy tension her fans adore. Asher Donovan, the Premier League’s most talented yet controversial footballer, finds himself in the spotlight for more than his on-field skills. With a reputation as much for charm as reckless antics, Asher’s team troubles reach a boiling point after a championship loss caused by his fierce rivalry with a teammate. The punishment? A forced summer of bonding and intense cross-training.

Enter Scarlett DuBois, a former prima ballerina whose career was shattered by a tragic accident. Now a focused and guarded dance teacher, Scarlett never expected to spend her summer training the one man she vowed to avoid. Haunted by her past and wary of her brother’s intense rivalry with Asher, she’s determined to keep things professional. But with her brother called away, Scarlett and Asher are left alone, and the slow-burn attraction between them becomes impossible to resist.

As they train together, Asher is captivated by her beauty and inner strength, and Scarlett begins to see a side of Asher hidden beneath the headlines. But with the stakes high and secrets unfolding, both must decide if they’re willing to risk their guarded hearts for a chance at love.

With intense chemistry, deep emotional arcs, and all the spice Huang’s readers crave, this story is a must-read for fans of romance, resilience, and redemption.
