Escalation Clause

She's a young widow determined to never risk love again…He's about to change her tune with a single mind-blowing kiss.

In the midst of tragedy that has upended everyone around her, Maureen is focused on helping her brother and sister-in-law cope. Her life as a single mom of twin teens and her job as President of her family's successful construction company keep her plenty busy otherwise…but somehow not busy enough to avoid an obsession with her daughter's much younger than her, super sexy soccer coach.

Rafe is filling his time post soccer-career-ending injury coaching a club team and working as a physical therapist. When he's offered his dream job–manager of the new Detroit pro soccer club–the only catch is that the man who hired him is the brother of the woman he wants so badly he can hardly see straight. A woman already forbidden on so many levels he's lost count.

While Maureen comes to terms with having actual feelings for a man long after the death of her husband, Rafe fights his tendency to go full alpha male on a woman who will not be bossed around. She finally invites him to her house for dinner. But when her twins discover a naked soccer coach in their kitchen after returning early home from camp, all hell breaks loose.
