“Loaded with wit and snark, great characters, and lots of hot, steamy, naughty sex, Playing Dirty is sure to satisfy.”—New York Times bestselling author J. Kenner
Shaw Matthews plays to win, and he intends to snag a coveted partnership at San Diego’s hottest sports agency by signing America’s top athlete. Only one woman stands in his way: rival agent Cassidy Whalen. But eliminating the competition will be Shaw’s pleasure when he concocts an ingenious plan to seduce Cassidy and show the beautiful ballbreaker who’s the better man for the job. That is, until Cassidy turns the tables—and their steamy encounters start breaking all the rules.
Cassidy has worked hard to make it in a man’s cutthroat arena, and she isn’t going down without a fight, not even against the six-two alpha hunk whose rock-hard body awakens desires she’s never known before. As Cassidy shares night after night of unending passion with Shaw, the game begins to change. Now Cassidy stands to lose everything—unless a fiery contest of wills can become a winning proposition for two people who keep raising the stakes.
Playing Dirty is intended for mature audiences.

Parker (A Million Guilty Pleasures) delivers a fun, action-packed, highly erotic romp to open the Monkey Business series. Two high-achieving sports agents compete for one superstar quarterback, and the prize for signing him will be the coveted partnership at their elite San Diego firm. Charismatic Shaw Matthews decides to seduce his uptight nemesis, Cassidy Whalen, to throw her off her game. Determined Cassidy feels she has earned the promotion and plans to win by any means necessary. As they fall into seduction laced with anger, wit, and lust, they’re surprised how easily their workplace behavior translates into daring sexual taunts and challenges. Tension mounts as Cassidy and Shaw both find their sexual antics becoming more satisfying than their competition over the quarterback. Numerous secondary characters with their own relationship woes keep the story busy. The cliffhanger will surprise those expecting a traditional romantic happy ending, but readers will be eager to read the sequel, hoping for more rough and dirty sexual acrobatics, friendship, backstabbing, and empathy. -

Cassidy Whalen is the youngest woman in the sports management industry to reach such amazing success; snagging Denver "Rocket Man" Rockford for a client would not only put her on the map, it would guarantee her position as partner of Striker Sports Entertainment. The only thing standing in her way is the arrogant, philandering Shaw Matthews, her gorgeous coworker who is the firm's only other major player. Though their relationship has been hostile from the start, this direct competition has both sides set on winning by any means necessary. As the games progress and seduction is introduced as a subversion tactic, Cassidy and Shaw find that something greater than lust might be clouding their professional vision. This snappy, sexy novel moves at breakneck speed, with abundant snark and sports euphemisms. Cassidy and Shaw are worthy opponents in the office and the bedroom. Their fiery and aggressive sexual dynamic will appeal to those who enjoy reading rough sex, as this is a classic tale of "anything you can do, I can do better" enemies-turned-lovers. VERDICT Parker's (A Million Dirty Secrets; A Million Guilty Pleasures) penchant for dry humor and vivid, voracious sex scenes breathes life into a well-trodden premise.
