He put me through hell… And I called it love. I knew that it was too good to be true, and when Eric Wayne promised me the world? I should have run fast in the other direction. Instead of falling for every word… It should have been no surprise when he dropped me the moment that something better came along, yet when it happened? He single-handedly crushed my heart into a million pieces And he never even looked back... moreHe put me through hell… And I called it love. I knew that it was too good to be true, and when Eric Wayne promised me the world? I should have run fast in the other direction. Instead of falling for every word… It should have been no surprise when he dropped me the moment that something better came along, yet when it happened? He single-handedly crushed my heart into a million pieces And he never even looked back. I promised myself that I would never again open myself up to that kind of pain, and for the last six years? I have kept my word. I’ve moved on, and created a new life for myself, far away from him. I never intended to ever have to see his face again. But fate had other plans… And the second that a chance encounter brings us back together? Well, let’s just say, that it’s going to take everything that I have not to fall for him again. He’s too damn hot to resist… ** She was the one that got away… I never meant to hurt Avery, but when I had her? I was just a stupid kid. She didn’t deserve the way that things ended, but at the time, I didn’t realize what I was losing. But now I’m grown…and this man? Realizes that she is the only woman that could ever own my heart. I’ve achieved everything in my life that I’ve set my mind to so far, and the only thing missing is the beautiful woman by my side. And only one woman will do. Avery. And when fate drops her back into my lap, she has no choice but to accept the help that I’m all too willing to offer I’m certain that I will be able to win her back. No matter how hard she tries to fight it, I’m going to make her see… That I will do whatever it takes to make her mine. less

When the biggest player on the field finally meets his match... I'm going to be honest, here. The moment that I met Brock Edwards, I was pretty sure that I had drawn the short straw. I mean, seriously. Who really talks like that? He thinks that he is God's gift to women, and while that may be partially true, it doesn't matter to me. I'm not falling for it. I have one job, and one job only. Keeping him in the game, before his fed up coach trades him at the end of the season... moreWhen the biggest player on the field finally meets his match...

Keeping him in the game, before his fed up coach trades him at the end of the season. It should be easy, except, he resists me at every turn. Just when I think that we're making progress, BAM! He turns back into an asshole. I want to hate the guy, really, I do. Except the more time that I spend with him, the more I realize that there is a lot more to Brock Edwards than his image shows. He's pretty breathtaking, actually. He also has heartbreak written across his face. I'm going to work hard to keep him on the field, but I'm going to have to work harder to keep him out of my bed, and worse? Out of my heart. less
