Fourth Down Desire
Alexi Hart
Mason Cross doesn't do profiles.
He's the Chicago Phantoms' franchise quarterback, and after the playoff collapse that nearly ended his career, the last thing he needs is a journalist with a recorder and no patience for the managed version of him.
But Sloane Mercer isn't after the version. She's after the truth. And the truth about what happened in that fourth quarter is more complicated than anyone has written -- including the part Mason has been carrying alone for three months.
Two weeks at an elite training facility. Daily sessions. Off-record conversations that keep going somewhere they shouldn't.
She can't protect her source and finish the story. He can't let someone this close and stay in control.
One of them is going to have to break first.
Fourth Down Desire is a steamy sports romance featuring a quarterback who's better at taking hits than asking for help, a journalist who writes the true version or nothing, and a slow burn that earns every degree of heat.
