Synopsis:
All
Andi Parker has ever wanted, all she’s ever dreamed of, is a spot
on the Olympic track team. But when a near-fatal accident leaves her
hospitalized with serious injuries and shattered dreams, she’s not
only uncertain what her future holds but also completely alone.
Drew
Slater is a wanted man. Professional football teams want him for his
arm. Women want him for his good looks and magnetic personality. But
the well-crafted disguise he wears, the one that helps him score on
and off the field, hides secrets. Conceals lies. Threatens the
happiness of everyone around him.
One
chance encounter brings Andi and Drew together, changing their worlds
in ways they never thought possible. Unfortunately, what they thought
they knew about themselves—and each other—might just be the
biggest lie of all.

EXCERPT
He
approached the chair beside my bed and dropped down into it, keeping
his eyes trained on mine.
“Hi?”
A
devious smirk tipped his lips as he placed the bag on the floor and
lowered my tray table in the space between us. He reached inside the
crinkly bag, letting his hand linger. I’d give him props. He
definitely knew how to pique my curiosity. His hand slid out grasping
a shot glass. His eyes stayed on mine as he placed it on the empty
tray table in front of him. Then he reached back in and pulled out a
second glass.
“Thirsty?”
A
slow sexy smile skated across his lips as he slid the glass across
the table in front of me. But he wasn’t done. He reached back in
the bag and pulled out a full bottle of vodka.
“Seriously?”
I laughed.
He
nodded. “You scared?”
“Scared
I’m gonna drink you under the table.”
He
threw back his head and let loose a shoulder shaking laugh. So
carefree. So comfortable. So unbelievably breathtaking.
But
once it continued much longer than necessary, I crossed my arms over
the UNC printed on my powder-blue T-shirt. “Are we playing a game
or just trying to get sloppy drunk?”
His
laughter subsided as he dug into his pocket and pulled out a quarter,
holding it up so the fluorescent lights in my room reflected off it.
“So,
we’re wagering?”
He
nodded. “And with the pain meds getting the liquor to your head
quicker, you being drunk off your ass is just an added bonus.”
I
swallowed down. Hard.
“Now
if I win…” He twisted his lips like he really needed to consider
the stakes. “I get to give you a sponge bath.”
He
said it so matter-of-factly, it threw me for a loop. Then again, it
seemed like a win-win for me.
“If
you win,” he continued. “You give me a sponge bath.”
“Who
said I’d want to give you a sponge bath?” I totally did.
“Seriously?
Have you seen me?”
I
almost choked on the arrogance floating around the room. But in all
honesty, I liked it. Too much. A guy who knew who he was and what he
wanted turned me on. It’s what I was drawn to. What I normally
sought out. I nodded toward the vodka. “Where’d you get it?”
“My
buddy Avery smuggled it in.”
“All
in an effort to get me drunk?”
His
smile spread wide. “All in an effort to get you drunk and
give you a sponge bath.”
“Ever
think of just asking?”
AUTHOR
BIO:
I'm
a total romance junkie! Add an alpha male who's unlikable in the
beginning...even better. Happy endings are a must. Don’t leave me
with an unexpected cliffhanger or someone dying in the end. I’ll be
depressed for days. Love triangles and negative people are the bane
of my existence. My family, friends, sangria, and watermelon
margaritas are the light…
I
love hearing from readers, so feel free to get in touch with me at:
