Author Nora Phoenix’s The Prince and the Player is the latest book to be published by Boldwood Books and the first in the Prince Pact Series.
I’m determined to win over the one guy who hates me…but I never expected to fall for him
Being a prince may seem like a fairytale, but to me, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. That’s why I’m excited when I get permission from my uncle—the king of Norway—to go undercover as a student at an American college for a year. And I’m even more ecstatic to be selected for their football team. Soccer, I mean. The only problem? Farron, the team captain, dislikes me on sight. Determined to win him over, I start a charm offensive, but nothing works. He only hates me more.
Until the animosity comes to an explosive release…and we end up kissing each other. How did that happen when neither of us has ever been attracted to a guy before? Farron wants to let it run its course and get it out of our system, but I doubt that’ll work. I’m falling for him hard, but he has no idea who I really am. I fear that if he finds out, he’ll never speak to me again…
The Prince and the Player is the first book in the Prince Pact series and features an undercover, sunshiney prince and a grumpy, handsome soccer captain, two guys who mistake hate for attraction, a double bi-awakening, and two opposites who attract each other like magnets.

This book’s perfect blend of sports drama, royal intrigue, and bi-awakening romance makes it shine. Nora Phoenix nails the slow burn, building undeniable chemistry between two complete opposites—one all charm and warmth, the other all stoic resistance. And when the truth about the prince’s identity threatens to blow everything up? The stakes are as high as a championship final.
With witty banter, heartfelt emotions, and just the right amount of angst, The Prince and the Player is a must-read for fans of opposites-attract, secret identity hijinks, and grumpy/sunshine perfection. It’s the kind of book that’ll have you cheering for love as if it’s the World Cup final.
