The fine print wasn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy father built the Denver Nighthawks into an empire. Then he died and left my piece of it hostage to one condition: I have five months to marry a man my brother approves, or my twenty percent of the team goes to him instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI don't do love. I watched all three of my father's wives pack up and leave that stadium. I learned the math early: everyone who marries into this family leaves it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen my brother made me an offer: marry our star quarterback, and everything I've earned is finally mine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe problem is the quarterback. Beckett Crowe gives four-word answers and has the media presence of a locked door. I once called him \"a man-shaped out-of-office reply\" in a video that racked up four million views. Now I get to convince America I'm in love with him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo we drafted a contract. Twelve months, separate bedrooms, and Clause 9.1, initialed by both parties: no real feelings. I wrote the rules. I know what they're worth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat I didn't plan for was liking the way he goes quiet when I talk. Or his three-legged cat encroaching on my side of the bed. Or a fake vow that came out sounding truer than anything I've said in years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE OWNERSHIP CLAUSE is a steamy, laugh-out-loud standalone sports rom-com — Book 1 in the Nighthawks series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarriage of convenience ✓ · Enemies to lovers ✓ · Grumpy x sunshine ✓ · Forced proximity ✓ · One very judgmental cat ✓\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen door, guaranteed HEA, no cliffhanger. For readers of Meghan Quinn, Hannah Grace, and Tessa Bailey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery pre-order includes the book in your chosen format, an exclusive Nighthawks series bookmark, and a matching sticker.
