Daring the Player

She’s nothing but trouble…and he can’t resist.

Raised by an NFL legend, Miami Thunder wide receiver Rep Grissom has a career most would envy. A toxic marriage with a party girl almost put him on the sidelines, but now he keeps his head down, maintains control, and makes the moves on the field that leave younger players in his dust. Now all he has to do is maintain the status quo and he’s guaranteed a lucrative new contract at an age when most guys are retiring.

Lola Corbin is used to running with and leaving all the big boys in her rearview mirror. As the lead singer in a world-famous rock band, she fills up arenas and closes down the clubs but with the group on the brink of breaking apart, her future is uncertain. Years spent on the road have left her with nothing at home except platinum records on the walls, an empty fridge, and a cold bed. For the first time, she’s looking for something and someone beyond the spotlight.

When Lola’s first night as his next-door neighbor ends with him breaking up a fight caused by her drunken bandmate, Rep is intrigued by the vulnerable woman behind the tabloid exploits. She’s sexy, tempting, and a magnet for the drama he does not want in his life. The NFL player is not Lola’s usual type but something about his calm and down-to-earth manner compels her to pursue him with the focus of the center stage spotlight.

Lust leads to after-hours fun, but when trouble results in a front-page-career-ending spectacle, the player must decide if he’s going to be as daring with his heart as he is on the field.
