The Wrong Catch (The Wrong Player) (PREORDER - 4/14/26)

A football star gets tackled by an obsessed lover in the USA Today–bestselling author’s dark romance follow-up to The Wrong Quarterback and The Wrong Play.

Ophelia knows better than to obsess over a man she’s never met, but the moment she sees him everything shifts into focus. Matty Adler is the University of Tennessee’s golden boy: star tight end, campus legend, and the center of Ophelia’s every waking thought. She knows her troubled past reads like a cautionary tale, but when she looks at Matty, it doesn’t feel like infatuation; it feels like clarity. And before she can talk herself out of it, she’s applying to the same school, convinced that starting over means being close to him, even if it’ll cost her everything.

Matty’s grown used to the spotlight by now. His very existence on campus seems to attract swarms of onlookers―including a stalker whose steady presence has almost started to feel like a comfort to him. But when he catches sight of Ophelia for the first time, being with anyone else becomes impossible, and he vows to do whatever it takes to make her his.

As the two are ensnared in an all-consuming romance, Ophelia can’t believe her fantasies are actually coming true. Matty’s the one person who can make her forget about the chaos that’s dictated her life thus far. But secrets have a way of resurfacing, and the truth threatens to run interference on their happily-ever-after. On the other hand, maybe their dark urges and mutual obsession are exactly what both of them need. After all, a love like theirs doesn’t play fair . . .

This deluxe edition features sprayed edges with stenciled artwork, two character illustrations, a signed letter from the author, a curated playlist, and a recipe from the story.
