HOW TO PREVENT A FUMBLE: Alt Cover (signed)

I've made a lot of bad decisions in my life, but moving into Leo Warner's apartment and working for him? Questionable at best.

Not only is he my brother’s best friend, but he’s out of control.

My daughter and I have spent years just getting by while my controlling ex-husband tries his best to sabotage anything good that comes my way, and the last thing I need is an athlete who’s constantly getting in trouble to bulldoze into my life.

But when things heat up and my pride refuses to confide in my brother, Leo Warner is the one person who sees me at my lowest and offers to help.

I can live with him in exchange for some meals. Maybe some dishes and dry-cleaning. But his fall from grace with the media is far from over, and when he’s forced to enter a PR relationship, the only person he trusts for the job is me.

Briar Crosby is an ice queen I shouldn’t want.

Not only is she a single mom who’s been handed some bad luck, but now she's stuck with me.

And I promise, the last thing she needs is my particular brand of chaos.

But when she turns up on my doorstep ready to give up, I couldn’t turn her away.

There’s just something about Briar Crosby that makes me want to be a better man…

It was all supposed to be fake. But I should know that I always want what I can't have.

I hate being out of control, but I’d do just about anything for her to love me back... including get on my knees for her.

And it leaves me wondering… how do I prevent a Fumble?
