Jilted Jock
Adele Bateman wasn't expecting to spend two weeks living with a cocky Australian soccer star — least of all one who turned up on her brother's doorstep on his own wedding night, drunk, heartbroken, and very much not married. Finn McCash has just been jilted at the altar, and with nowhere else to go he lands as Adele's temporary roommate.
Adele has a boyfriend of two years and every reason to keep her distance. But over late nights on the couch she finds herself opening up to Finn more than she ever has to anyone, and the connection between them runs well past physical chemistry. Neither of them is supposed to be falling — he's nursing a broken heart, she's spoken for, and they both know he'll soon be gone.
A steamy, banter-filled forced-proximity sports romance, Jilted Jock is Rebecca Jenshak's entry in the Cocky Hero Club, a shared world of standalone romances inspired by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward's Cocky Bastard. Adele is the sister of that book's Chance Bateman.
The sister of Chance Bateman (from Cocky Bastard), who takes in a jilted stranger while quietly questioning her own relationship.
