First there was Sacked and now there's...
She’s always played it safe…
College
junior Lucy Washington abides by one rule—avoid risk at all costs.
She’s cautious in every aspect of her life, from her health, to her mock
trial team, to the boring guys she dates. When a brash, gorgeous jock
walks into the campus coffeeshop and turns his flirt on, Lucy is stunned
by the force of attraction. For the first time ever, she’s willing to
step out of her comfort zone, but can she really trust the guy who’s
determined to sweep her off her feet?
He’s always played around…
Entering
his last year of college eligibility, linebacker Matthew
"Matty" Iverson has the team captaincy in his sights. And it’s his for
the taking, if he can convince his quarterback Ace Anderson to give up
the starting position. Luckily, Matty already has an edge—the hottie
he’s lusting over just happens to be Ace’s childhood best friend.
Getting Lucy on his side and in his bed? Hell yeah. Matty is more
than confident he can have both, but when he falls hard for Lucy, it’s
time for a new game plan: convince the woman of his dreams that she’s
not sleeping with the enemy.
Excerpt:
He leans toward me again. “How about this. I’ll take all the risks and you just come along for the ride.”
“Matty, dating isn’t the risk. You’re the risk.” I lay down a few bills for my meal. “I’m not unhappy with how I live now. There’s nothing wrong with making measured decisions and weighing the risks versus the benefits.”
He watches me while I pull on my coat. “You’re right that there’s nothing wrong with how you’re living. I’m not judging that. I’m just saying maybe your life could be happier. And that sometimes taking a risk gives you big rewards.”
“And you’re that big reward?”
He smiles wide. “You won’t know unless you give me a try."
