Synopsis
Ian
Nothing is more tempting than the forbidden.
I pride myself on my control.
I am the best quarterback in the league with an iron will and unshakable discipline.
Nothing can change that. Or so I thought.
Then Lilly crashes back into my life.
She’s all I think of.
Staying away is impossible.
Being just friends is agonizing.
A relationship with her is forbidden. Something I’m reminded of every time I go to practice and see my head coach.
But damn if she doesn’t make me want to risk it all to have her.
Lilly
Coming face-to-face with the only man I had a one-night stand with was not in my plan. I never inquired as to who’d be my neighbor when I moved into my new apartment.
But I should have. Especially after all I have done to avoid Ian.
But avoiding him now seems impossible. He’s everywhere, tempting me to the point of exhaustion.
I won’t give in. Not only because I refuse to date a player, but my father is his head coach.
So instead, we’ll be friends. Which might be the stupidest thing I’ve ever agreed to.
Because being just friends with the man I can’t stop thinking about has trouble written all over it.
