Raised by a pro football legend, Miami Thunder wide receiver, Rep Grissom, has a career most would envy. A toxic marriage with a party girl almost put him on the sidelines, but now he keeps his head down and makes the moves on the field that leave younger players in his dust. Now all he must do is maintain the status quo, and he’s guaranteed a lucrative new contract at an age when most guys are retiring.
Lola Corbin is used to leaving all the big boys in her rear-view mirror. The lead singer in the world’s biggest rock band, she fills up arenas and closes down the clubs, but with the group on the brink of breaking apart – her future is uncertain. Years spent on the road have left her with nothing at home except platinum records on the walls, an empty fridge, and a cold bed. For the first time, she’s looking for something – and someone – beyond the spotlight.
When Lola’s first night in her condo ends with Rep breaking up a fight, he realizes that temptation has moved in next door. Lola doesn’t usually go for the strong and serious types, but the more she sees of her neighbor, the more she wants. When a thank-you dinner turns into dancing and a hot tryst in the back of the club, their attraction cannot be denied. But when Lola-induced trouble results in a front-page-career-ending spectacle, the player must decide if he’s going to be as daring with his heart as he is on the field.
