After a case ended badly for Rebecca Carson, she’s losing her mind sitting around her apartment waiting on her superiors to allow her to return to work. Since she was a teenager, the only thing she’d ever wanted was to join the FBI. Now that dream was in danger.

Gage Daniels has made a pretty good life for himself. A nice house. A career he loves. As a professional football player, he’s used to getting almost everything he’d ever want with just the snap of his fingers. This includes women. A well-timed smile is usually all it takes to attract the opposite sex, especially in Nashville.

When a stalker threatens Gage, the team owner calls an old friend, Rebecca’s ex-partner Travis Hansen, to help protect his star quarterback and find the person responsible. Hansen offers Rebecca the job, and she jumps at the chance. It’s work, and it will get her out of her apartment. How bad can it be?

Posing as Gage’s girlfriend, however, isn’t as easy as it seems. The man is relentless. Rebecca must work to protect Gage while staving off his advances. She’s there to do a job, nothing more. The last thing she wants is to be another notch on a hotshot athlete’s belt.

As the stalker continues to up the ante, Rebecca finds it harder and harder to keep her distance from Nashville’s star quarterback. He isn’t what she expected in one of the city’s most notorious playboys. Now all she has to do is keep him safe until they can find his stalker, and hope she doesn’t lose her heart in the process.

MY REVIEW:

This is a book I might have looked at just because of the cover alone. Yet, passed up because for me involved more of a suspense then a romance. I would have been totally wrong. There were equal parts of both if not a little more on romance. Gage & Rebecca are two very complex, interesting, & frustratingly funny people. Gage for being a football player is so down to earth & his family is wonderful. The author bringing a true sense of closeness of hearth & home. Something Rebecca really knows nothing about other then her younger sister who she has cared for her whole life like a mother hen. Yet, Gage's family engulfs them both no questions asked. The saddest yet funnest thing was in Gage's families living room when Gage hugs Rebecca, everyone stops & stares, Trent makes his statement. That was just unbelievable. But, this who done it had me going for awhile. But I still had doubts. When it was who I thought at the end boy was I still surprised. This was a good surprise of a story. I think you will like it. Kept me engaged all the throughout.
