Griff Montgomery, Quarterback

He wants to find a wife. She doesn’t want to marry again. Not exactly a match made in heaven. Or are they?

Griff wants his own family. But where does a “player” go to find a mate?

Having sworn off marriage, Lauren Farraday barely keeps her life together after her divorce. With her career shaky and depression closing in, the last thing she needs is a courtroom battle with a sexy athlete.

Forced, by a judge, into an uneasy truce, the pair denies their growing chemistry. Wary of Griff’s womanizing reputation, and hiding a secret, Lauren keeps him at arm’s length. Can the quarterback handle the truth or will he walk away, like he has in the past?
