My name is Christian Thompson, and once upon a time, I was the best striker in European football. That was until he came along—Ashford Ryder, young and carefree, 10 years my junior and the new shining star. I hate him. At least that's what I tell myself. Not just because he's taken my spot, but because he's everything I've struggled all my life to be, and not to be. He's vibrant, he's happy, and the worst of all, he's openly gay. I'm not homophobic, quite the opposite—I've lived in the closet all my life. All my life, I've had to hide who I am to please the people around me. European football hasn't always been this accepting of gay men, and I'd squeezed myself into a box to fit in with what they wanted of me. It isn’t that hard when you think about my family who'd rather disown me than have an openly gay son. So imagine how I feel when the world decides to be more accommodating to people like Ashford Ryder when they shoved me in a box. It's not so easy to hate the happy-go-lucky striker, when he does everything to get close to me, despite my insistent hatred for him. He's like a thorn in my side—a hot, sexy, blonde, 5ft9 thorn I can't stop thinking about. But when one day I lose my cool around the popular striker and land myself in bad press, I end up needing his help. It's supposed to be easy. Spend some time with Ashford Ryder, and show our fans that we can work together—it's what I need to do to save my career. But no one tells you how hard it is to hate someone you spend every waking hour dreaming about.

SABOTAGING MY WALKOUT QUEEN BOOK 1: FATED TO LOVE HER "How long do you have to convince yourself that you don't love her anymore?"

"Aku selalu berusaha agar tak membeku saat dinginmu lebih memilih untuk tak menyala. Aku selalu berusaha untuk bertahan saat es tajammu memilih untuk menusuk. Tetapi, aku berhenti. Kala hatimu memilih untuk tak dijamah." "Aku tak pernah memintamu bertahan dalam bekuku. Aku tak pernah berharap agar mentarimu mencairkan saljuku. Tetapi, aku kalah telak. Bekuku telah meleleh saat mentarimu akhirnya berlalu.

My sister, Fiona Miller, has recently opened a luxury spa for business. As such, I bring Dad along to check it out. Of course, we pick the most expensive treatment package available. But barely a few presses from the male therapist, and Dad feels a sharp pain in his chest and can't seem to breathe properly. All the color drains from his face, and cold sweat starts beading on his forehead. I call the manager over, but he seems annoyed. "Oh, he just has poor blood circulation. He'll be fine after the massage. That's just a normal reaction." I can't believe what I'm hearing. "My father has a heart condition. What are you lot even doing to him?" The manager, Seth Zeller, explodes as if I've insulted him and raises his voice. "That's his own pre-existing condition. How is that our problem? We run a legitimate business here. No refunds once treatment begins. Got it?" I gesture at the credentials displayed on the wall. "I don't see your name anywhere up there. You're not even certified. Is this the kind of operation Fiona's running?" Seth folds his arms across his chest, looking down his nose at us. "I'm the boss here. You and your dad look broke as hell. I can tell you're just trying to get a free massage and walk out without paying." "Let me spell it out for you. This package is 38,000 dollars. Adding in the cost of my emotional distress and lost time, the total is 100,000 dollars. Pay up now, or I'm having you both arrested." A massage that almost kills Dad costs 100,000 dollars? So that's why Fiona was suddenly so eager to open this spa. As it turns out, she and her boyfriend are running a fraud scheme. I reach for my phone to call her, but Seth is already making a video call. "Babe, you need to get here right now. A couple of deadbeats are trying to get a free massage and walk away without paying."

Apa jadinya kalau seorang perempuan dijodohkan hanya karena diusianya yang sudah 25 tahun dan belum menikah. Jangankan menikah, punya pacar saja tidak. Begitulah yang dialami oleh Asha, ia dijodohkan oleh orang tua hanya karena teman-teman seumurannya sudah menikah dan punya anak sedangkan ia masih saja betah menjomblo dan bermimpi suatu hari nanti bisa berjodoh dengan sang idola yaitu salah satu member boyband asal Korea Selatan. Akan tetapi pada akhirnya ia pun mau menerima perjodohan itu dan siapa sangka kalau ia dijodohkan dengan laki-laki yang menurutnya sangat menyebalkan.
