(2026)
A novel by

 
 
One season. One deal. One very inconvenient love story.

International rugby star Logan Callahan doesn’t do roots or relationships. California is just a detour: answers, rugby, and then it’s back to Australia where he belongs. Nothing will get in his way.

Savannah Blair can’t afford distractions. If her meal prep business is going to survive, she needs to prove to her family that defying generations of tradition wasn’t a mistake. But her oversized, opinionated cat isn’t making it easy to stay focused.

And neither is the grumpy rugby player who stumbles into her life.

When the cat decides Logan is his soulmate, the pair reluctantly form an alliance. Logan needs Savannah’s help to reach his birth mother. Savannah needs Logan’s connection to the rugby team’s owner to catch a big break.

No feelings. No complications. Completely temporary.

But the cat has other plans, and the more time Logan and Savannah spend together, the more they start to notice things only feel right when they’re side by side. Now they have to decide whether sticking to the plan is worth losing what they never expected to find, when walking away might break more than just a deal.

Try for Love
is a standalone no-spice sports romcom full of witty banter, reluctant allies, and slow-burn chemistry. It’s perfect for readers who love independent women, cocky athletes, and happily-ever-afters worth fighting for.
