BLURB:
Sly “Bullhorn” Brodsky wished winning the
heart of Samantha Drake was as easy as protecting his quarterback. A top
offensive lineman in the NFL, Bull tried to live down his rep as a womanizer.
Locker room chatter had elevated him to the level of “player” in more than
football. But Samantha Drake, dark-haired, stunning sister of a teammate,
didn’t want to have anything to do with him. Or did she?
On his best behavior, Bull pulled out all
the stops to woo the reluctant beauty. He was making progress until a woman
from his past reappeared. Tiffany, the one woman who broke his heart, is in
trouble. Is Bull the only man who can help?
Samantha is overcoming her doubts about
Bull until Tiffany arrives. Is the blonde really in hot water or does she just
want another chance with the man she discarded?
Enjoy the return of your favorite First
& Ten characters in this book, too. Surprises, twists, and football action
scenes will keep you turning the pages.
EXCERPT:
“I’m grubby. I need a shower,” she said,
pushing to her feet to glance in the mirror.
The next image to take over his mind was
stepping into a steamy shower behind Samantha. He blinked a few times and took
a deep breath, hoping his thoughts wouldn’t inspire an erection.
“You okay? Were the boxes too much?” Her
dark, chocolate brown eyes held concern.
He laughed. “You kiddin’? That’s nothin’. I
take down guys ten times that weight in every game. Geez. What do you think?
I’m a pussy or something?”
She made a face.
“Sorry. I need to clean up my words.” He
sensed color in his face. He’d never had a girlfriend like Samantha Drake. She
was smart, beautiful, and nice. She did volunteer work at the New Life Shelter
for battered women and kids. But she wasn’t his girlfriend, only a friend. With
no benefits. He sighed.
“My brother, Devon, talks like that too.
You’d think football players never went to college.” She handed him a cold
bottle of water.
He downed the liquid. “What’s next?”
She turned around in the room and sucked
her lower lip between her teeth. “Bed, books, clothes, rocking chair. Hmm. How
many boxes are still in the car?”
“Two.”
“Then that’s it. The place looks pretty
empty.” She perched on the mattress, tucking her feet under her.
“You’ll have it furnished before you know
it. Come on. I’m gonna bring those boxes up then take you out to dinner.”
“Thanks. Be right back.” Her thousand-watt
smile turned his innards to jelly.
He sat in the rocking chair while Samantha
washed the dirt off her luscious body. Or what he assumed was luscious.
Sylvester “Bullhorn” Brodsky, known to his teammates as “Bull,” had the hots
for Samantha Drake, and it was keeping him up nights. While he waited for her
to want him back, his imagination ran through a half dozen things he’d like to
do to her under the warming spray of hot water. She was a little slip of a
thing, and he was huge. Six foot three inches tall and two hundred fifty pounds
of pure muscle, the offensive lineman could lift her up with one hand.
SHORT SNIPPETS:
1.
Denial
of their physical attraction crumbled in the dead of the night, when truth
can’t be easily sidestepped. She’d noticed him the first time he’d passed in
the hallway. Then the second time, when on a search for her brother, she’d
spied Sly draped in nothing but a towel in the locker room. Embarrassment had
filled her cheeks as she’d scurried outside to wait for Devon. The lineman had
simply laughed, showing no modesty at all.
Sly
Brodsky. Bull. Did she want him? Sam smiled to herself. Of course, she did. But
she wasn’t about to tell anyone, especially him. She could barely admit it to
herself. He appeared content to wait, which was fine with her. She enjoyed
being in control. Still, to be honest, she wouldn’t make him wait forever. Only
as long as she could stand to back away, even when she longed to lose herself
in his arms and let him take her home.
2.
Bull
shifted his weight. Blood rushed to his face, and his palms sweated. “This
friend thing is great. But I’m interested in more than that. I want you to be
my girlfriend.”
“Maybe. Don’t you have a girlfriend?” She
tilted her head back to make eye contact.
“Nope. I haven’t dated anyone more than a
couple of times in a long time.”
“Huh? I’m surprised. Thought football
players had women crawling all over them.”
“Not the kind of women I want. I’m looking
for a real woman, not a hook-up.”
She narrowed her eyes. “And what’s a ‘real
woman’ like?”
“One-of-a-kind, like you.”
