About this ebook
Step behind the hotel room doors of The Chatsfield, London…
This is so not how Alice Hammond planned on spending her birthday. Not only has her own father stood her up, but now some guy has sat down next to her at The Chatsfield bar and started teasing her! Ok, he's the seriously gorgeous captain of a top football team, but he's also the most arrogant man Alice has ever met, and storming off is the only option!
But when she accidentally switches phones with Angus it's time to track him down, and when the hunt leads to his hotel room, Alice might be in for a birthday treat after all!

The Sports Star At The Chatsfield - Melanie Milburne
Chapter One
I was on to my second mimosa by nine-fifteen… that’s p.m. in case you’re wondering. I have my fair share of problems but thankfully drinking isn’t one of them. I was sitting in the swanky bar at The Chatsfield Hotel in London waiting for my father. We meet here every year on my birthday, May 15th.
That’s another thing I should clarify. We meet here on the years my father actually remembers, which makes it about one in two. Last year he forgot so this time I wasn’t taking any chances. It wasn’t that I was all that fussed about my birthday. Dad never buys me a present. He hands me a cheque. He’s been doing it every year since I was twelve. He handed my mum one on that occasion too, but that was part of the divorce settlement. I suppose I should be grateful the amount has kept in line with inflation, but there is still a little girl inside me who longs to hold a gift that her father has personally chosen for her.
You might ask, why does my father hand me a cheque in the days of electronic banking? Good question. The answer is for show. He does the same thing every year… well, every second year. He sits down, orders a Manhattan, and once it’s down in front of him with a bowl of crisps – which he shouldn’t be eating because of his cholesterol – he opens his wallet and selects a crisply signed cheque and hands it to me with a big cheesy grin as if he’s handing me the key to eternal happiness.
I play the game. I glance down at the amount written there and gasp in shock/delight/surprise and thank him for being so generous, yadda, yadda, yadda. I smile inanely and ask him about his latest girlfriend, holiday, golf handicap, etc.
Yes, I know. It’s nauseating.
I wouldn’t have bothered texting him to remind him this year but I had to see him about another matter. My father was getting married. Remarried. Now, before you start thinking I’m one of those kids who got seriously traumatised by their parents splitting up, and for years and years secretly fantasised about them getting back together, think again. I was cool about it. I’m still cool about it. They should never have married in the first place. They only did it to please their parents when they accidentally got pregnant with me. I’m the product of a one-night stand. It doesn’t have quite the same ring to it as honeymoon baby, does it?
But I digress.
My dad at the age of fifty-seven was getting married.
So? You might ask. Lots of divorced men remarry in middle age. Fine. Good on them.
But they’re not marrying my BEST FRIEND!
Argh, I want to vomit when I think of my dad with Sophie. She’s the same age as me. Twenty-five. I mean, what is he thinking? He’s thirty-two years older than her. I still can’t believe it. Sophie called me a couple of days ago to give me the heads up. I had no idea. I think that’s what I found the most upsetting. How could I be the last to know my best friend is shagging my father?
