SYNOPSIS
He wants to find a wife. She doesn’t want to marry again –ever. Not exactly
a match made in heaven. Ten years ago, Griff Montgomery, star quarterback of
the Kings and womanizer, became a stand-in father for his widowed sister’s
kids. His happy family life collapsed when she and her new husband moved to
California. Griff wants his own family. But where does a “player” go to find
his ideal mate?
Having sworn off marriage forever, Lauren Farraday barely kept her life
together after her divorce. With her career shaky and depression closing in,
the last thing she needed was a courtroom battle with a sexy
athlete.
Forced, by a judge, into an uneasy truce, the pair denied their growing
chemistry. Wary of Griff’s reputation with women, and hiding a secret, Lauren
keeps him at arm’s length. Determined, Griff marches toward his goal. Can the
quarterback handle the truth or will he walk away, like he always has in the
past?

EXCERPT
“Even better.” Carla licked her lips. “I’ll bet she has no idea you’re
having sexual fantasies about her.”
“I’m not. It was an accident,” he hissed.
“Sure, sure. Keep telling yourself that. Wonder what she’d think if she
knew?”
“Don’t, Carla. Please don’t. I’m begging you.” Griff reached for her arm,
but she shook him off.
Buddy faced the quarterback. “What the hell did you
do?”
“You don’t wanna know.”
“Oh no. You didn’t?” His eyebrows rose.
Griff nodded. “Guilty.”
“Whoa, stand back, Tony. There’s gonna be some fireworks in a minute.”
Buddy pushed Hastings to the wall.
“You wouldn’t be lying, now, would ya?” Carla asked, directing her stare at
Buddy.
“See for yourself.” He gestured to the brunette at the corner
table.
“Lauren!” Carla cupped her hands and yelled.
Lauren stood up, turning to face them.
“You Lauren?”
“Please, please, Carla. I’m sorry, so sorry,” Griff whispered. “Don’t do
this.”

GRIFF
MONTGOMERY - His journey from the tiny town of
Adams, Indiana to national fame as a top quarterback, playing for the
Connecticut Kings, had been one of hard work and dedication to the game of football.
He became a family man when he moved in with his widowed sister to help her
raise her two kids.
Totally focused on his career and being a stand-in dad, Griff worked hard.
He believed that allowed him to play hard, too, at least when it came to women.
A natural athlete, handsome and sexy, he’d been called a man-whore with a girl
in every road-trip city. But once his family left for the West Coast, his
compartmentalized existence fell apart.
Putting his life back together meant committing to a woman, marriage and
kids. But could a “player” become a man-whore no more? He wouldn’t put money on
a new beginning happening with a woman who had sworn off marriage for good. But
there she was, beautiful and hiding something. He couldn’t ignore her, no
matter how hard he tried.
LAUREN FARRADAY -
Reeling from a personal tragedy and a recent divorce, Lauren wanted peace above
all else. Tending to her ailing father, and trying to make a living as a
freelance decorator didn’t leave time or energy for men. Love had kicked her in
the teeth, so she wanted no part of it. Not now. Not ever.
Forced, by the court, to let seductive Griff Montgomery into her life, she
built a wall around her heart. No way was she going to trust the man with a
girl in every port. Despite their chemistry, she tried to keep the quarterback
at arm’s length. Fearing heartbreak, she kept her secret hidden. How could she
expect him to abandon his relationship deal-breaker for a woman like
her?
