Riley

He was supposed to be nothing more than a one-night stand.

It wasn't just his stormy gray eyes or how his strong, sculpted shoulders filled out his sweatshirt. It wasn't even about the way he touched me, bringing me more pleasure than I'd ever known.

No, it was his playful banter, his thoughtful gestures, and the way he truly listened that made me fall for him.

Walker Bankes, the best mistake I've ever made, is my last taste of freedom before I enter a marriage of convenience.

Walker

The moment I saw her across the crowded bar, I knew I had to have her in my bed. What flipped my world upside down was how much I liked her. What was supposed to be a quick hookup in my swanky hotel room turned into endless laughs, deep conversations, and so much kissing. More than I'm used to. She's perfection.

Saying goodbye the next morning is torture, and when I surprise her at her work three weeks later, the chemistry is still electric. Boston isn't home, but Riley feels like it. I'm ready for a change, and she's it.

As one of the NFLs top running backs, I rarely fumble. But when I discover the real Riley, its not the ball that slips through my fingers—its my heart.
