Fake a Chance on Me

It's time to say goodbye to my first series. If you've followed the Bulls rugby series, which started with Head Over Feels in 2021, you'll know how significant this moment is. I started writing Head Over Feels, my first ever novel, around 2015. As a massive rugby fan, I wanted to see more romances about this incredible sport because rugby has passion, aggression and thighs!


But now we're at book three, and I'm preparing to say goodbye to the Bulls. But as rugby is still my first love, I'll be starting a new rugby series in 2027.


In the meantime, get ready for Fake a Chance on Me, a sexy, cute and angsty romance.


I release my fake dating, bad boy vs virgin romance on Friday, September 26th, just before the final of the women's Rugby World Cup.


You can pre-order the Fake a Chance on Me eBook here:


And if you're based in the UK, you can pre-order a signed paperback here:


Enough of my rambling, are you ready for the cover?


It was designed by Designs With Love GB from Etsy, who is the same artist who designed Head Over Feels and Stalling in Love.


Fake dating and intimacy lessons with the town’s hottest, baddest rugby player to overcome my health issues? Bad idea. Catching feelings for him? A mistake that will break my heart wide open.

 

Keep scrolling to read the blurb. If you'd like to share this cover on your social media, that'd be amazing, but please don't share it until I've posted it on Monday, 21st July.


Beneath the cover, you'll find the blurb and tropes. I'll share these on social media in early August, and I'd love it if you could repost them then.

Lucas Knight is the bad boy rugby star with perfect thighs and a love of trouble. But behind his cocky grin lies a secret that would shock his many haters.


Gabi Draper has a secret too: a medical condition she’s ashamed of. She’s sworn off dating and relationships because she’s terrified of anyone discovering it and of men getting close before she can overcome it.


A chance encounter leads to a two-month, no-strings, fake dating intimacy pact: Lucas will give her steamy lessons in the bedroom to help her conquer her medical side-effects, and she’ll help him fix his reputation.


The closer they get, the harder it becomes to tell what’s real and what’s pretend. Their passion and feelings for each other are growing stronger with each passing day…. 


But their future has the potential to cause the greatest heartbreak either of them has ever known.


The Fake Out meets The Kiss Quotient in this fake dating sports romance with opposites attract, rugby, insta-lust, single uncle, virgin x bad boy, and forced proximity tropes.

CW: infertility and other gyne health issues.

Golden Goal: An Orlando Storm Novel by Marissa James

A broken goalie. A physical therapist. And the love they didn’t expect. But will it be enough to heal what they’re afraid to face?#


Holt Abbott, the goalie for the Orlando Storm and a newly single dad, is the last person I should fall for. As the team’s newest physical therapist, my job is to help him heal so he can get back in the net.


I should not be thinking about how good looking he is or how much I admire the way he took on his new responsibility as a dad without hesitation. I should not be wanting to find out who he is under the grumpy exterior. Especially because I have my own baggage.

But the more time I spend with him the more I can’t resist him. Before I know it, we’re giving into our feelings and agreeing to see where things go.


Until his past comes back to haunt him, and threatens our future together. I don’t know if we’ll survive. It really might just be too good to be true.

Golden Goal is book three in the Orlando Storm series but can be read as a standalone.


Tropes: Sports (Hockey), Forced Proximity, Workplace, Single Dad (Surprise Baby), Found Family
Intended for audiences 18+
