THE LOCKDOWN MANN

Riley Hart 

Release Date: October 22

     
 

Meet Riley Hart:

Riley Hart’s love of all things romance shines brightly in everything she writes. Her primary focus is

Male/Male romance but under various pen names, her prose has touched practically every part of

the spectrum of love and relationships. The common theme that ties them all together is stories

told from the heart.


A hopeless romantic herself, Riley is a lover of character-driven plots, many with flawed and relatable

characters. She strives to create stories that readers can not only fall in love with, but also see

themselves in. Real characters and real love blended together equal the ultimate Riley Hart experience.


When Riley isn’t creating her next story, you can find her reading, traveling, or dreaming about reading

or traveling, and spending time with her two perfectly snarky kids, and one swoon-inducing husband.

Blurb:

Desmond

I was sixteen years old when I met Oakley Manning during a family beach vacation. He was funny,
gorgeous, as obsessed with football as I was, and hurting after his mom abandoned him.

For two weeks, we were inseparable. Oakley made me feel complete, settling something inside me.

Then one night, I kissed him…and he kissed me back.

When he walked away afterward, I pretended it hurt less than it did. It’s a lesson that’s stuck
with me—the people I want never choose me back.

 Oakley

Everything about what I shared with Desmond Jackson was perfect.

Then, on the last morning of our trip, my ex-girlfriend-slash-best friend dropped a
bomb: “I’m pregnant.” For the sake of the baby, we decided to make it work.
Eleven years later, Serena and I are still best friends, but our relationship is over, though
we haven’t told anyone. Between her mom’s recent diagnosis and our daughter, we aren’t
ready for more complications.
Enter Des, recently traded to L.A.’s second pro football team—my team being
the first. Now he’s always in my periphery, infuriating and needling me…and
still capable of making my pulse race. Our chemistry is as combustive as ever.
Des worships my body in ways I’ve never experienced, but he doesn’t believe in
forever, and I can’t do casual.
We compete at everything, but he doesn’t know he’s already won my heart. I just
hope it’s a prize he wants…and that my world won’t implode if I have him.
The Lockdown Mann is a second-chance romance between two professional football
players, with a complicated history and an even more complicated present. Expect
banter, anonymous online messaging, and heart. There is no cheating in this book.
