And Then You

Love is a risk... but a risk worth taking.

JAKE

I knew following my best friend across state lines would change my life... I just wasn't prepared for how much.

CJ Reyes is not what I expect when I show up for a blind date-and neither is our chemistry. The fire with him is unlike anything I've ever felt before, both in and out of the bedroom. His fun attitude and sexy sapphire eyes are breaking through the walls around my heart, and for the first time in my life, I'm not running away. But with desire comes fear. Are the dangers of my career worth the risk of falling in love, or should I leave now to spare everyone the pain?

REYES

After being cut from the Mexico soccer team, I accept a temporary coaching position in South Carolina, hoping it would give me a break. The reprieve doesn't come easy, though, when my family begins pestering me about my future. I wish I had answers, but all I seem to find are more questions... especially when it comes to the smooth talking police officer who keeps showing up in my bed. Our fiery nights and growing friendship are just what I need to move on. Maybe there are things worth more than winning a world championship.

But when an opportunity arises that could change my life forever, I discover Jake might not be all in. He doesn't want the same things I do, and that terrifies me even more than being cut from the team.
