β¦ Synopsis
Don't like the athletes. Don't sleep with the athletes. Don't fall for the athletes. It had never been particularly difficult to keep the rules but Nick had a feeling he was about to be tested.
Heisman winner. Member of the National Championship team. NFL Rookie of the Year. Quarterback Colin OβConnor knows heβs become the ultimate romance novel clichΓ©: all the success heβs ever dreamed of but nobody to share it with. Too bad itβs not as simple as asking out the next girl who intrigues him β because the next girl to intrigue him probably wonβt be a girl at all.
Unexpectedly, the solution comes in one neat package: Nick Wheeler, lead journalist for a leading sports and pop culture blog. Hired by Colinβs team, Nick comes to Miami to shine a spotlight on the NFLβs most private quarterback.
The heat in Miami rises when Nick discovers that Colin is nothing like the hollow personality he pretends to be in interviews and heβs even hotter in person than on his Sports Illustrated cover. Nick knows this is the story of his career, and it also hits close to home. What he needs is to help Colin share his story while keeping their growing relationship from boiling over in the press, but what he wants is to tell the world.
