This two-book paperback set bundles The Striker and The Defender, a steamy Premier League sports romance duology packed with rivals-to-lovers tension, alpha heroes, and heroines who refuse to back down. Perfect for fans of Huang's Twisted and Kings of Sin series, this collection is a must-have gift for adult romance readers who love fast-paced, forbidden, heat-filled love stories. About the Books: The Striker introduces Asher Donovan, the Premier League's most talked-about footballer, whose off-pitch antics are as legendary as his goals. When a feud with a rival-turned-teammate costs his club a championship, the pair are forced into off-season cross-training together — and Asher falls for the one woman he cannot have: his rival's sister and the team's new trainer. This opener blends sporting drama with forbidden-romance tension, sharp banter, and simmering chemistry. The Defender follows Vincent DuBois, the disciplined captain of Blackcastle Football Club, whose rising fame brings unwanted danger to his door. Forced to secretly share a flat with his coach's daughter, Vincent must fight his growing attraction while protecting those he loves most. Where The Striker crackles with playful rivalry, The Defender leans into protective, slow-simmering longing, exploring duty, vulnerability, and the sacrifices of life in the spotlight. Together, the two novels form a connected duology showcasing Huang's signature mix of angst, banter, and swoon-worthy payoff, following linked characters across the same fictional football world. Fans of sports romance will love the footballing backdrop, while devotees of Huang's earlier work will recognise her trademark alpha heroes and heroines. Key Benefits: Two complete no
