“A sexy, fun romance from an author who always delivers.” —Kirkus Reviews

Beauty and the Baller, an all-new moving and smoking hot fake relationship standalone romance from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills is available now!

An NFL quarterback turned small-town coach gets sacked by a Texas beauty queen in this swoony, passionate romance from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills.

Gorgeous, talented, and brilliant, NFL quarterback Ronan Smith has the world in his hands. But after losing his career and his fiancée in a car accident, he falls into a pit of grief and bad choices. When a mysterious girl shows up to his party, he feels drawn to her and makes her his…for one night.

Former beauty queen Nova Morgan is on a mission. Scantily clad as a princess from a galaxy far, far away, she sneaks into a high-profile party to capture the attention of her favorite quarterback. But her hopes crash after an awful one-night stand.

Fast-forward two years. Broke and desperate, Nova returns home to Blue Belle, Texas, where, by a cosmic twist of fate, her broody neighbor is none other than Ronan, the shiny new football coach everyone adores. But he has no idea who she is.

The booster club keeps shoving women at Ronan to keep him in town. His solution? He proposes fake dating to Nova. But things heat up for real under these Friday-night lights when he realizes she’s the one who slipped away.

Has this jaded beauty found her forever baller, or will his past keep them apart?

5-find-your-glow stars! In my eyes, this author can do no wrong. Absolutely adored this delightful, sexy and emotional story!

"We were effortless and natural, almost instinctive, two people sensing a familiar soul, one with cracks but not completely broken."

Nova Morgan and Ronan Smith share one night together. A night of magically connection and one that pulls Ronan out of his downward spiral. However, Nova has pretty negative feelings about that night and was glad to never see him again. Two and a half years later, imagine her shock when she realises that the neighbour next door is the guy she's never forgotten.

"Life is always scary. It's better when you do it with someone."

This was such an engaging, absorbing story. Nova was a woman of keen intelligence, resourcefulness and magnetic charm. She also had a heart of gold. Her heart of gold rivalled that of Ronan's. I loved how much he cared about the folk of Blue Belle and the things he did to help those in need. He was a guy full of vulnerability and my heart ached for his genuine determination to push through his fears to keep Nova by his side. I adored how much Nova enchanted him with her refreshing honesty and candid observations. I loved the mantras she inherited from her mother, which she held close to her heart. They really spoke to me. I was tickled by some of the side characters - Sabine amused me no end with her comments (I really hope we get a book with an older Sabine, at some point), Sonia was a hoot with her British vocab, and Lois was a law unto herself! LOL. A thoroughly fabulous read that was full of heart and humour.
