She vanished, but I’ve never stopped wanting her.
And now I’m back … for everything.
Two years ago, the woman I had a holiday fling with—and wanted to keep— disappeared from my life. There was no goodbye or explanation. Just gone.
So, I buried myself in football, training, and trophies. In anything that kept me from thinking about her. But it never worked.
It feels like kismet when I get traded to the New York Titans and the woman I’ve spent years looking for is none other than the owner’s daughter and one of my new bosses, Alie Grant. I should keep my distance. But every heated glance across the locker room hallway, every whispered conversation behind closed doors, and every time she looks at me like I’m hers … I lose control.
She tells me we shouldn’t do this.
I tell her I don’t care.
Because when she’s in my arms, nothing else exists.
What I don’t know is …
She''s been hiding more than her heart, and she’s been raising my daughter alone. Because the man she trusted most lied to her. He wanted her for himself.
When everything comes out, I’ll fight for the future that was stolen from us. For her and my daughter. A little girl with my eyes and smile.
Because this time … I’m not letting her walk away. This time, I’m keeping them both.
Tropes:
