BLURB:
Two people, two tragedies, two deep, devastating secrets…. Griff Montgomery is the headline-making, heart-breaking star quarterback of the Kings – a 6’4”, 33 year old womanizer. Lauren Farraday is a beautiful young interior designer, bitterly scarred by divorce, whose life is falling apart. Though they violently oppose one another in court over her beloved pug (she thinks he’s arrogant and conceited, and he thinks she’s a bitch on wheels), something happens....
These are the bare bones of this sizzling romance, riddled with passion -- the first in a brand new series that’ll tantalize football fans and have readers glued to every page and on the edge of their seats!
Griff looks like a super hero with his tousled, mahogany hair, dazzling smile, dark, sexy eyes, and a body that does something indescribable to a tight pair of jeans. Though Lauren’s sworn off men forever, one look sends shivers down her spine, making her feel lonelier than ever before. Her lustrous, long hair, sparkling green eyes, and nonstop curves make his fingers tingle at the thought of touching her. How do they deal with their cataclysmic attraction? Will they be able to drop their protective facades – his to camouflage his grief over his sister and her family, for whom he was a surrogate father, moving 3000 miles away…. And hers’ to shield her from the incalculable loss of her husband and hoped for child?
For Griff, the thought of falling in love is as foreign as toe shoes and a tutu. For Lauren, it’s like putting on cleats and a helmet and running 50 yards…. Can they, will they, risk it?

Excerpt:
“Who do you like better, Lauren or me?” The quarterback cracked open an eye to glance at the bathmat.
The pug yawned and shifted position.
“Yeah, Lauren. I know. But you’ve been with her a lot longer. I’ll grow on you. Trust me. I’ve already grown on her, haven’t I?” He chuckled, his lips turning up in a sly little smile.
Spike snored.
“You don’t have to admit it. She likes me almost as much as she likes you.” He dunked a loofah then squeezed soothing droplets on the biceps of this throwing arm.
The only reply from the sleeping pooch was a soft snort.
“Okay, okay, maybe not almost as much. But I’m getting there.”
Silence.
“I get why you like her best. She’s amazing, isn’t she?”
The soft burr from Spike answered the question.
“Yeah. I know. And pretty. She’s got the cutest little—”
A knock on the door made Griff jump and slosh water on the floor. He swore.
