EXCERPT
Pete stripped down
to boxers and donned his running shorts. Not bothering with a shirt, he headed
for the beach. There was no way he could get to sleep after his steamy
encounter with Jo Parker. Running would clear his mind and calm his body.
He pulled an
elastic with his house key on it over his wrist and left. As he walked down the
path to the sand, he thought about Jo. Christ,
I can’t stop thinking about her! Chilled by the night air, he started to
run. He’d known she was sexy, but the way she had surrendered in his arms,
well, surprised wasn’t the word. He never thought she’d fall without a major
seduction. Flowers, candy, dinners out—now he could forget that. Next date
would end in his bed.
Pete could hardly
wait. Searching his memory, he couldn’t remember when he had been so turned on
so quickly. She’d had him when she’d walked in wearing that sweater. Shit, I could barely keep my eyes or hands
off her breasts. Lust had boiled up in his veins when she’d insisted on
seeing his bedroom. Standing there with the sea on one side and alluring Jo
Parker on the other, a foot from his bed, he could hardly control himself or
ignore the protests from his dick.
CHARACTER BIOS
PETE SEBASTIAN - Winning the Super
Bowl is just the beginning for Coach Bass, as his team calls him. He walks on
water, until his world gets turned upside down by a feisty female. When the new
V.P. of Publicity turns out to be a gorgeous blonde, Pete is
stopped in his
tracks.
Raising twin daughters alone
after his wife took a powder, Pete has been too busy to be lonely. But now that
his girls are off to college, loneliness has become his constant companion. Bed
partners are easy to find, but the right woman,
one who loves football almost as much as she loves him isn’t easy. So far, he
has come up empty.
With a beautiful woman in the
office next door, Pete can hardly concentrate on preparing for training camp.
All he wants to do is kiss Jo Parker, but she’s tucked away behind a
professional demeanor and not going to play his game.
Never one to throw in the towel,
Pete has a strategy to win this woman who keeps one step ahead of him. Can the
charming, sexy coach win the affections of the elusive Ms. Parker? Or his he
destined to continue on playing a solo game?
JO PARKER - Jo Parker is a woman who knows what she wants,
right? She thinks she does. A successful woman in the man’s world of NFL front
office, Jo has worked hard and taken lots of guff to rise to the level of vice
president of publicity.
Her new job at The Connecticut
Kings presents a challenge. Not only does she have to clean up the reputation
of a team that fired two players for domestic violence, but she has to resist
the practically irresistible charms of the coach, Pete Sebastian.
With her pug, Daisy, tucked
under her arm, Jo takes Monroe and the Kings by storm. She rolls in, determined
to send the players to anger management, to avoid further bad behavior. But
they roadblock her at every step. And leading the resistance is the devastatingly
handsome, Coach Bass.
Chemistry and mutual attraction
short-circuit Ms. Parker’s plans. She finds herself in unfamiliar waters,
falling in love. But love is not in her plans. She doesn’t believe in Prince
Charming and she’s not about to give up her independence for a roll in the hay.
But loneliness and a hunger for
love, born from a sterile childhood, draw her to the warmth and charm of Pete
Sebastian. Will she be able to control her emotions, fight through their mutual
attraction to focus on the job and only the job?

SOCIAL MEDIA TEASERS
She turned
off the faucet and eased down slowly into the steaming water. The heat felt
good, dissolving the stiffness in her muscles. She didn’t understand why she
was tense. It’s not like a real date.
It’s a payback for his supporting my idea. That’s all.
When he
looked at her, the light that shone through his experienced eyes made her
shiver. He moved with a subtle grace and ease, like he was comfortable within
himself. Everything about him screamed sex.
Why am I so flustered around him? He’s just a
coach. But Pete
Sebastian was nothing like the other coaches she’d worked with. He was single,
handsome, trim, athletic, and sexy as hell.
“So, did ya ask her
out yet?” Carruthers asked.
Pete lowered his
legs and sat up straight. “Who?”
“You know who,”
Brodsky whispered so loud it could be heard down the hall.
“I have no idea
what you’re talking about. And my social life is none of your damn business.”
“Come on, Coach. We
just walked by her office. Jo Parker is hot,” Robbie said.
“Well, Coach, did
you tell Parker where he could stick it?” Bullhorn Brodsky asked.
“Parker is not a
he, but a she. And no, I didn’t. Why don’t you guys open your minds a little?
This is going to be a pioneering program. We’re going to be the first in the
NFL to give our players some help dealing with anger.”
Her
condescension was obvious. It hit Pete’s pride, and he saw red. “Look, Miss
High and Mighty! I just won the Super Bowl for ole Lyle. He’s jumping for joy.
I walk on water. So don’t go threatening me.”
