Blurb:
I’ve always let my past dictate my future, letting it paint
a picture of exactly what I don’t want to be. Where I don’t want to end
up.
Drake Chambers is as arrogant as I am stubborn. A college
quarterback, a national star. I thought he was just another one of those guys …
the type every girl should stay away from, but he’s carrying more than the
weight of the football team on his shoulders.
He unravels the feelings and beliefs I’ve held onto for so
long.
I thought we had it all figured out. Two people who’d
finally found their happily ever after, but the past always has a way of
sneaking into the present.
With one decision, everything changes … forever.
EXCERPT
I don’t date because I
don’t have time. I can count the
number of girls I’ve had sex with on one hand. I always make
sure I end things
before they go too far emotionally. There’s just way too
much going on in my
life with football, a part-time job, and family drama to add
a relationship
into the mix.
When I hear some of the other guys on
the team talk about their conquests, I feel like a saint.
One of my wide
receivers has a different girl every weekend, literally.
I’ve seen him get in
too many situations where last weekend’s girl bumps into him
while he’s with
his latest. He hasn’t quite figured out how easily some of
these girls get
attached, and I’m waiting for it to come back and bite him
in the ass.
After
walking almost the whole way up the center aisle, I start to
doubt my plan. The
pickings are slim, and if I can’t find someone, I won’t have
any choice other
than to drop this class and try again next semester. I don’t
have time to deal
with this shit right
now.
“Hey,”
I hear a soft, sweet voice say from behind me. When I don’t
turn around right
away, she continues, a little unsure this time. “Umm, excuse
me.”
Glancing
over my shoulder, I get my first look at her. She’s
definitely cute … in a
sweet, innocent sort of way with her long, chocolate brown
hair and large brown
eyes. I bet those eyes have gotten her out of trouble a time
or two. She also
happens to be the same girl who ran into me while I was
tossing around the ball
with the guys Saturday. The one who can catch a ball and
throw a perfect
spiral. She didn’t seem to know who I was then … or she
didn’t care.
“Can I help you?” I ask, turning
myself the rest of the way
around.
Her
eyes widen with her own realization as she tucks a piece of
her hair behind her
ear, allowing me to focus on the contrast between her creamy
skin and dark locks.
I don’t stop there, lowering my gaze to her long, bare legs.
I noticed them right
away the other day, and I thank God she chose cutoff shorts
again today.
“I was wondering if you have a
partner yet. I was reading through the syllabus, and I guess
everyone else got
a head start.”
A
grin spreads across my face as I look up to her hooded eyes.
“So you’re the
only person left in this class who doesn’t have someone to
work with?”
She
scans the room, clearing her throat. “I think we’re the only
two left.”
