False Start
Football, a kitten, and 14 dates.
Zhanna Hale
THEN
My father is a legend. Some call me football royalty, and in my hometown of Louisiana, I suppose I am. His legacy didn’t
prepare me for Bryant Hudson. The quarterback. I swore I’d never date football players. Permanently. Yet Bryant had other plans. Three dates and a handful of conversations, I handed him my heart without realizing it. But, Bryant shatters my soul. I’m left picking up the pieces. If only erasing him from my heart was as easy.
Bryant Hudson
NOW
I lost at the only game that matters. And it wasn’t even a game. It was and is my forever with Zhanna. I am the best quarterback out there. That should be enough, right? Achieving my dreams. But none of that matters without my woman beside me. When she left, she took my heart with her. Now I’m back. To remind her of what we had. To see me—the man whose heart she owns, not the quarterback. Our love is fate. Our lives are forever intertwined. I refuse to let a false start signal our end. I’m ready to repeat the play and show Zhanna she is my everything.
Mistletoe Wishes
Out of the frying pan…and into the fire?
Stella Black needs a place to hide out from her ex. Mistletoe Creek is just the place to start over. And for once the universe smiles on Stella and gives her the perfect job opportunity.
If she can overlook the nerve-wracking interview.
And her sexy-as-sin new boss.
Kashton Saint is no saint at all. He lives fast and hard. He does what he wants and doesn’t think twice about anyone else. And the small town charm? More like claustrophobia for the village bad boy.
He needs to make it through his current case without strangling his client, and he needs Stella’s assistance for the duration.
If he can ignore her gorgeous red lips.
And the way she looks underneath the mistletoe.
How hard can it be for two people to ignore their attraction and the presence of mistletoe?
