INTERCEPTED
Aleatha Romig
Release Date: February 2
AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

In The Coopers, family power meets forbidden passion, and one wrong move can cost you the team… or your heart. Perfect for fans of the ruthless tension of Succession and the dark, aching obsession of Wuthering Heights.
At thirty-six, Fin Graham is a legend, a veteran quarterback, dangerously handsome, and built to win. The field. The season. Me.
I never thought I’d see him again, not after he disappeared and shattered me without a word. But now he’s been traded onto my family’s team, the Lexington Coopers—my turf, my legacy, and the one place I swore he’d never touch.
No one knows our past.
No one knows how hard I loved him… or how deep the betrayal cut.
And if I have any sway with the team’s owner—my father—Fin’s contract will be the shortest in franchise history.
But the problem with old heartbreaks?
They remember how to start beating again.
Fin wants a second chance.
I want revenge… or maybe I just want him.
And the time clock is almost out.
With the future of the Lexington Coopers on the line, we have to decide if we’re working together or against one another.
From the bestselling author of Infidelity and Sin comes a scorching, high-stakes romantic suspense series set in the seductive, cutthroat world of the NFL. The Coopers is a four-book saga following one explosive couple. INTERCEPTED ends on a cliffhanger—an unforgettable Aleatha blindside.
This was a 4.5-star read for me, and honestly, my only real mistake was not reading the disclaimer first. I went in thinking this might lean closer to Aleatha Romig’s lighter books… and wow, was I wrong—in the best and most emotionally devastating way.
As I hit around 90%, I remember thinking, This feels oddly abrupt for an Aleatha ending. And then—of course—came her signature move: a cliffhanger so cruel it should come with a warning label. Absolute torture. I should have known better.
The story itself is addictive. The tension between Vee and Fin is everything—layered with history, heartbreak, power, and unresolved betrayal. Fin Graham is the ultimate tortured, larger-than-life NFL quarterback, and Vee is strong, guarded, and impossible not to root for. Their chemistry simmers, aches, and explodes in all the right ways.
That said, I don’t trust Vee’s uncle at all, and cousin Grant is giving me serious side-eye. Knowing Aleatha, I’m probably completely wrong—and that just makes me more excited (and nervous) for what’s coming next.
Intercepted is high-stakes romantic suspense done right: emotionally charged, seductive, and ruthless. If you love powerful families, second-chance romance, and stories that end by ripping the rug out from under you, this is absolutely for you. Just don’t make my mistake—know going in that this is book one of four… and the cliffhanger is brutal.

Bring on book two.
Deception. Heartbreak. Second-chance. Sports. Strong FMC and tortured, gorgeous MMC. What more could a romance reader junkie ask for?
Vee and Fin have such amazing chemistry even when Vee tries to cover her hurt with denial of their past. She is guarded (even in the flashbacks of her past that are slowly revealed throughout this book) and, as her friend states, a commitment-phobe woman (when you read about her history, you will understand why). And Fin. Man! He has such a cocky, tough exterior that he shows the world because deep within, he is a tortured man that you just can't help falling for. But he has eyes for only one woman: Vee. And, of course, being a fabulous NFL player doesn't hurt him much. *wink wink*
Now, aside from the back-and-forth, second chance slowly unfolding romance story, you have side/supporting characters that you will love and a few you will hate, and some you will question the motives of. And in true Aleatha Romig fashion, we are left with the holy freaking, are you kidding me, oh-no-she-didn't cliffhanger that will leave you craving the next part like yesterday! You HAVE to one-click this one so I am not the only one left biting their nails.
I have. But have YOU been Aleatha'd?
