Steel Beauty

Georgia Cates

They agreed on three months… but neither expected to fall. Alex Sebring is a former professional rugby star—and a man with nothing left to prove. Fame, fortune, and adoration were once his everyday normal… until injury ripped him from the game and the headlines turned brutal. Now, he lives in quiet exile. No press. No relationships. No complications. He’s content to lick his wounds in peace. Until her. Magnolia Steel is in Australia on a three-month work assignment. Just career focus… and maybe a little fun on the side. She never expects to connect with a stranger from behind a wall in a blind-dating suite. No faces. No names. Just voices—and something that feels dangerously real. At the urging of his best friends, Jack and Laurelyn McLachlan, Alex proposes a deal: three months together, no expectations, no labels. But what begins as a simple arrangement turns into something far more complicated when hearts get involved. They promised it would end when she left. But what if walking away is the one thing neither of them can do? Your favorite Australian caveman and his American girl return—a decade later—with a fresh twist on the love story that started it all. Meet Alex and Magnolia.
