Rucked Up Ruse
(2025)(The second book in the Scottish Rugby Rebels series)
A novel by Beatrice Bradshaw
She’s faking it to save her job. He’s faking it to save himself. Falling for each other? Not part of the game plan.
Finn Lennox is the Stirling Rebels’ resident bad boy. Fast on the field, faster in a nightclub, and fastest to seduce the ladies. But after vanishing on a bender, he returns with a scandal that could end his career.
The press is circling. The sponsors are furious. And if Finn doesn’t clean up his act, he’ll lose the only thing holding him together: rugby.
Theodora MacMickin rebuilt her life after her narcissistic ex destroyed her confidence and career. But when the agency’s future – and her dream job – are at risk, she agrees to fake a relationship with the most notorious player in Scottish rugby.
Convince the press he’s changed. Convince the sponsors he’s in love. Convince themselves this isn’t getting complicated.
Theo was only meant to run his social media, not move in with him to sell the lie. And definitely not fall for the man beneath the swagger.
But Finn’s hiding more than a scandal. And Theo’s still learning how to trust herself – and her heart – again. When past wounds start bleeding into the present, they’ll have to decide what’s worth fighting for. Because if they fall for the lie, they might lose everything that’s real.
