Masked Man by Elsie James

She’s got her nose in a book. He’s got his heart on his sleeve. Will a chance meeting at Mardi Gras unmask true love?

Isla
I’ve always loved the simple things in life. A quiet town. A good book. A relationship with my high school sweetheart that lasts forever. It’s what I planned on. That’s why I was so shocked when my longtime boyfriend broke up with me on my birthday. Of course, I still have my job and my friends, but I never made any backup plans when it came to love. So when my boss asks me to attend a conference in New Orleans, I can’t think of a reason to stay.
But when a Mardi Gras float lands me in the lap of a professional football player, I wonder if it could be a touchdown.
Sawyer is arrogant, sexy, and I want to unmask him.
But is his love real or will there be a flag on the play?

Sawyer
My life was chaos growing up and some things never change. Becoming a professional football player only meant more extravagant parties. But lately, my life doesn’t thrill me like it used to. I’m ready for something more serious, but I have no idea how to get there. When a trip to Mardi Gras brings a sexy librarian into my world, I want to bend her corners.
Isla is sweet, smart, and I think she could be the key to my happy ending.
But can I convince her that I will be here when the going gets tough?
