{"product_id":"one-knights-stand-1","title":"One Knight's Stand (Buffalo Steel Rugby Romance)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree years ago, I decided to have my first one-night stand. The plan was simple: research how to do it and meet a man at the bar before nerves playing with my guts got the best of me. I wanted to ring in the new year between a stranger’s legs. Someone with good hygiene and exceptional tensile strength to take the edge off of studying mechanical engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen he walked in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI’d heard whispers about “a night with Knight,” tales of toe cramps and matted hair. Antonio is the biggest player and not the man to relieve me of my pent-up tension. His thick thighs, veiny forearms, and charming smile promised a trip to the hospital.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI shouldn’t have followed him back to his condo, but I did.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDinner turned into a kiss, and that kiss led to accidental humping. That’s how we ended up in the emergency room. He had a broken nose, and my wig was stuck on his watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree years and a PhD later, Antonio has cemented himself in my life as my best friend. Moving to the city where my sister lives—and where he plays professional rugby—wasn’t a big deal at first. But everything changed when we hugged. His cologne surrounded me, and his eyes stayed locked on mine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur friendship is platonic, ironclad after the one-night stand gone wrong. So why can’t I shake the feeling that we’ve barely scratched the surface?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*One Knight's Stand is a friends-to-lovers rugby romance with spice, shenanigans, and a trip to the ER.*\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frenc","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44974665236688,"sku":"997946R","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Signed","offer_id":44995081273552,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/6983\/9568\/files\/oneknightsstandtanvierpeart.jpg?v=1774389377","url":"https:\/\/the-book-readers-venue.myshopify.com\/products\/one-knights-stand-1","provider":"The Book Readers Venue","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
