BLURB
I hate Harry Stone.
Before I’d even met the selfish former pro hockey player turned CEO, he was at the top of my shit list.
The entire city of Chicago thinks he’s God’s gift to humanity, but I know the truth.
He knocked up my best friend and then ditched her when she needed him most.
She got sick after that, and before she passed away, she chose me to raise her newborn daughter.
I just need Harry to sign away his rights to the little girl who means everything to me.
Unfortunately, it’s not quite that simple.
To stay in his daughter’s life, I end up moving in with the man I detest. Loathe. Despise.
Hating Harry Stone is the easiest thing I’ve ever done.
But slowly discovering a way to not hate him?
Now that, I didn’t see coming.
Pompous Player is a secret baby/enemies to lovers/sports romance inspired by Cocky Bastard.

MY REVIEW
Winter's about down to her last dollar when she and Avery face eviction. The hits keep coming, though, when she finds out Avery's biological father isn't willing to sign away his rights. Will she have to give up her best friend's baby to her birth father, even though Avery's mother (Winter's best friend) wanted Winter to raise her baby? Even though Harry hasn't been in the picture since before Avery was born?
Harry is completely unprepared to be a father, but he wants custody of the daughter he just found out about. It appears the woman whom his ex wanted to raise their baby seems to hate him. So why does he find himself allowing her to coparent with him? Why does he find himself falling for her?
This is a sweet addition to the Cocky Hero Club. Harry wasn't anything like Winter had prejudged him to be, although he was a player (on and off the ice, even though he's retired from professional hockey), but he turned out to be a wonderful father and a great guy, and Winter and he made a cute family unit with Avery.
