A sexy new forbidden romance from #1 NYT Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely ... It should have been a simple play... She needed a football player to step up and be the star for a charity calendar. I needed a sharp and savvy publicist to manage a brand-new sponsorship deal. I scratched her back. She scratched mine. And oh hell, did Jillian ever drag her nails down my back on one hell of a hot night. Okay fine, it was several hot nights on the road. Now we're back in town and it's time to set the play clock back to when we were simply player and publicist. Given the way the last few years have gone, I can't risk this deal, so it's hands off for us once again. Trouble is, I want more than than just another night with her. What's a guy to do when he's always been most likely to score, but the woman he's falling for is just out of bounds? I don't date players. And I definitely don't sleep with players. And I absolutely don't fall for a certain player when I get to know him and learn he's more than just sexy -- he's clever, funny and has a heart as big as his . .. well, you get my drift. But my job is at stake, and I can't afford to lose that as well as my heart. The problem is, I think I've already lost that game. What's a girl to do when the clock is running out, but the man she's falling for is off limits?
