I’m sick of following suit, doing everything my dad thinks I should. I’m my own woman, and I know just how I’m going to prove it. I went through six years of college to earn my master’s in business to please him, while I wanted a degree in interior design, so I worked my tush off and received my bachelor’s in that, too. Now that I’m 24, I’m going to do a 180 in my life and take a job I never saw myself doing, just to please me. It really can’t be too hard to serve food to people, make beds, and use a feather duster...can it?

Like anyone’s going to believe me if I try to out him? But I can’t help myself.

Drake Thomas is my best friend’s brother and the last person I expected to rescue me from my fear of flying. That’s exactly what my sexy, egotistical enemy did when he turned our missed flight into a road trip adventure filled with the unexpected–like the undeniable sexual tension between us.

I’m Collin St. James, after all: starting wide receiver for the Virginia Thunder. Playing football has kept me on my toes, but nothing could have prepared me to mentor our newest teammate, kicker Charlie Nicholson. I wasn’t caught off guard because I had to take someone under my wing or because Charlie was easily banging sixty-yard kicks through the uprights. It happened when the rookie’s silver helmet came off, and long blonde hair spilled out. Completely baffled, I edged closer and took in the prettiest blue eyes I’d ever seen.

I’ve loved Dove Tryst my whole life. There wasn’t a time when I ever thought she wouldn’t be mine. Even when we hated each other, we loved each other. But now I’m sitting here alone, trying to figure out where it all went wrong and more importantly, how. She’s engaged to my enemy. Days from walking down the aisle toward a man who isn’t me. And she’s asked me to object. I know what I have to do, but I’m not sure Dove’s going to like it. Sometimes love is war and you have to fight to keep it safe.

I wanted her the moment I first saw her. Chanelle Nicolls, the great CNN reporter, was more beautiful in person than on TV. Looking into her gorgeous eyes was like being struck by lightning. The feeling was enchanting. I'd never before wanted to possess a woman. But I wanted to make Chanelle Nicolls mine. Mine... This word, which had so far been unfamiliar to me, appeared in my mind. Something was changing in me, too quickly and dangerously.
