From the international bestselling author of The Simple Wild and Ten Tiny Breaths comes a new second-chance, hate-to-love romance.
The Player Next Door by, USA Today bestselling author, K.A. Tucker, is now live!
Scarlet Reed has returned to Polson Falls, convinced that twelve years away is long enough to shed her humiliating childhood identity as the town harlot's daughter. With a teaching job secured and an adorable fixer-upper to call home, things in her life are finally looking up.
That is, until she finds out that Shane Beckett lives next door.
Shane Beckett, the handsome and charismatic high school star quarterback who smashed her heart. The lying, cheating player who was supposed to be long gone, living the pro football dream and fooling women into thinking he's Prince Charming. Shane Beckett, who is as attractive as ever and flashing his dimples at her as if he has done no wrong.
Scarlet makes it abundantly clear that old wounds have not been forgotten. Neighbors they may be, but friends they most certainly are not. She won't allow herself to fall for the single father and firefighter again, no matter how many apologies he offers, how many times he rushes to her aid, or how hard he makes her heart pound.
But as she spends more time with him, she begins to fear that maybe she's wrong. Maybe Shane has changed.
And maybe this time she's the one playing herself—out of a chance at true happiness.

This story is told in the lead females, Scarlet's POV only and truly I felt I missed out by not hearing from Shane's POV.
Scarlet is bad home after 13 years after she left. She left because the guy she crushed on and who dated her one summer ended them and took up with the mean girl, Penelope who hated her guts because of an affair her slutty mom had with the girls very married father.
Now 13 years later, Shane is her new neighbor. he is still as hot as high school, but he has a 12 year old son and Scar who is now back in town for a new job as a teacher of the six grade, guess whose son is her new student?
I LOVED that Scar does not give Shane a shot right away, I liked that she makes him work for it. I wanted her to torture him more. But I am glad she doesnt just fall into his muscular arms.
I really enjoyed this story a lot even Penelope won my heart over near the end. i really just wanted to get into Shane's head and I felt like I missed something by now hearing his POV.
This is a great high school bully and finally getting her revenge story with a 2nd chance romance.
