SYNOPSIS
246.
That's
the number
of
women I've shagged in the last twelve months.
I'm Ryder Stevens.
Don't pretend
you
don't
know me. I'm a god.
I'm hot, I'm
British
and I take what I want. I'm also the number one ranked tennis player
in
the
world. But it's my off court antics that gain the most attention. I
cruise
through
life, running from one scandal to the next. Hell I can't even take a
piss
without the world knowing about it.
Rules? Who
gives a
shit?
Rules are there
to
be
broken and I'm the king of breaking them.
But even the king
can
be bought to his knees. I'm sidelined with an injury that changes
everything.
Maybe my life
isn't
so
perfect after all...

EXCERPT
“Ryder, you’re becoming more
well-known for your
behaviour
off court
than your actual
career. Do you have anything to comment on
that?”
I
raise
my eyebrows at the reporter. Flashes from cameras are going
press
conference—especially for a
game
I’d been very lucky to win.
“Not
sure
what you mean there, Stan,” I say, reading his nametag. It’s
of
where this is
going. “I came
here
to play tennis—that’s it. It’s a damn shame that reporters
like yourself having nothing better to do
than
focus on what
I do in my
private
time.”
“But
is
it private time when you’re out until three a.m. the night before
a big match?” he persists.
I
shrug,
and wipe my mouth in an attempt to hide my smirk. “Players
for
some a good
night’s sleep does
the
trick, but for me, I’ll take an evening of rough
and sweaty sex over a quiet night any day of the
week.”
I ignore
the glare of my
manager,
Matt, and nod at the next reporter.
“Ryder,
do
you think your pre-match actions showed disrespect for your opponent
today?”
“How?”
I
fire back. “I treated the build-up to this match just the same
as I would if I were playing Nadal or Federer.
You
all seem to
want to focus on
my
life outside of the court. Does anyone here have any
questions about my actual tennis?”
I
cross
my arms over my chest as Matt bows his head and sighs. A murmur
rises through the crowd before someone puts
their
hand up. I
nod, my eyes
locking
onto hers. She’s a pretty little thing with long, dark
hair and stunning blue eyes. I can tell she’s
feisty,
and I find
myself wondering
if
that attitude carries over into the bedroom.
“You
play
the number two ranked player in the world tomorrow, and your
having
an early night
tonight?”
she
asks. Her full, red lips curve into a grin, and I can feel
myself harden.
I
shift
in my seat and lean forward, resting my elbows on the table in
“On
what?”
“On
whether
or not you’ll give me your phone number.”
