EXCERPT
Pete stripped down to boxers and donned his running shorts.
Not bothering with a shirt, he headed for the beach. There was no way he could
get to sleep after his steamy encounter with Jo Parker. Running would clear his
mind and calm his body.
He pulled an elastic with his house key on it over his wrist
and left. As he walked down the path to the sand, he thought about Jo. Christ,
I can’t stop thinking about her! Chilled by the night air, he started to run.
He’d known she was sexy, but the way she had surrendered in his arms, well,
surprised wasn’t the word. He never thought she’d fall without a major
seduction. Flowers, candy, dinners out—now he could forget that. Next date
would end in his bed.
Pete could hardly wait. Searching his memory, he couldn’t
remember when he had been so turned on so quickly. She’d had him when she’d
walked in wearing that sweater. Shit, I could barely keep my eyes or hands off
her breasts. Lust had boiled up in his veins when she’d insisted on seeing his
bedroom. Standing there with the sea on one side and alluring Jo Parker on the
other, a foot from his bed, he could hardly control himself or ignore the protests
from his dick.
CHARACTER BIOS
PETE
SEBASTIAN - Winning the Super Bowl is just the beginning
for Coach Bass, as his team calls him. He walks on water, until his world gets
turned upside down by a feisty female. When the new V.P. of Publicity turns out
to be a gorgeous blonde, Pete is stopped in his tracks.
Raising twin daughters alone after his wife took a powder,
Pete has been too busy to be lonely. But now that his girls are off to college,
loneliness has become his constant companion. Bed partners are easy to find,
but the right woman, one who loves football almost as much as she loves him
isn’t easy. So far, he has come up empty.
With a beautiful woman in the office next door, Pete can
hardly concentrate on preparing for training camp. All he wants to do is kiss
Jo Parker, but she’s tucked away behind a professional demeanor and not going
to play his game.
Never one to throw in the towel, Pete has a strategy to win
this woman who keeps one step ahead of him. Can the charming, sexy coach win
the affections of the elusive Ms. Parker? Or his he destined to continue on
playing a solo game?
JO
PARKER - Jo Parker is a woman who knows what she wants,
right? She thinks she does. A successful woman in the man’s world of NFL front
office, Jo has worked hard and taken lots of guff to rise to the level of vice
president of publicity.
Her new job at The Connecticut Kings presents a challenge.
Not only does she have to clean up the reputation of a team that fired two
players for domestic violence, but she has to resist the practically
irresistible charms of the coach, Pete Sebastian.
With her pug, Daisy, tucked under her arm, Jo takes Monroe
and the Kings by storm. She rolls in, determined to send the players to anger
management, to avoid further bad behavior. But they roadblock her at every
step. And leading the resistance is the devastatingly handsome, Coach
Bass.
Chemistry and mutual attraction short-circuit Ms. Parker’s
plans. She finds herself in unfamiliar waters, falling in love. But love is not
in her plans. She doesn’t believe in Prince Charming and she’s not about to
give up her independence for a roll in the hay.
But loneliness and a hunger for love, born from a sterile
childhood, draw her to the warmth and charm of Pete Sebastian. Will she be able
to control her emotions, fight through their mutual attraction to focus on the
job and only the job?
