If you love football and The Bachelor, this is the book for you.
A bit about the book:
Harley Brennan and Shyla
Hollings agreed to part company to follow their careers. It was a mutual
decision. The star running back had no problem getting dates, but never the
right dates. After one year spent trying to replace the only woman he’d ever
loved, he declared defeat. Until the reality TV show, Marriage Minded, approached him.
Harley flew to
L.A. after the Super Bowl, ready to find his new soul mate. Bumping into Shyla
at the airport didn’t give him a clue that she’d be behind the scenes,
designing the sets for the program. And she didn’t tell him. Was Fate playing a hand, bringing them
together? If so, Harley had to admit, Fate had lousy timing.
Convinced
his life was heading for a touchdown, Harley’s confidence was high, until his luck
ran out. Would the running back get knocked out of the game or sprint to
victory?
A
unique combination of reality TV show surprises, football action, humor, and
steamy love scenes, HARLEY BRENNAN, RUNNING BACK, will keep you guessing until
the last scene.
A taste -
“So, why the TV gig?” she asked, taking a drink of
hers and nodding her approval.
He looked down at his hands. “I gave up.”
“Gave up?” She raised her eyebrows.
“Gave up hope you’d come back. Gave up hope another
Shyla Hollings would walk through my door. I want to settle down.”
“So, you contacted the show?”
“They came to me. Convinced me I’d find my true love.
My soulmate.” He narrowed his eyes. “Are you allowed more than one soulmate in
a lifetime?”
**********
Shyla Hollings could deadpan like the best comics in
the world. She was funny—hilarious, in fact—and had kept him laughing every
minute that he hadn’t been kissing her. She had become his soulmate, the total
package, the one woman he’d been seeking. His heart had sung. Then, it had
happened. She had gotten called by a major Hollywood producer’s office to work
with an Academy Award winning set designer, and her career had taken off,
leaving their affair to exist on crumbs until it simply hadn’t been enough.
**********
They drank and nibbled on gourmet snacks. Shyla filled
his senses, her beauty, her unique scent, wrapped in an expensive perfume,
wafting across the seat to him, the softness of her skin as his fingertips
touched the back of her hand. Simply sitting next to her had him wired. Harley
had no idea what he was putting in his mouth, but he wished it were a certain
part of Shy, instead of a cheese puff.
For Harley, the magic had started during that week in
Costa Rica, at Penny and Mark’s wedding, and it had never faded. The
electricity, the spark, the chemistry they had had in that tropical paradise
still beat inside him. His blood pumped faster, his tongue got tied, and every
nerve cell jumped to high alert whenever he had the good fortune to see her.
Did she feel
the same? His question had been
answered by her broad smile, warm greeting, and enthusiasm in bed. He had
believed her feelings matched his, at least at the time. Her early design
success hadn’t dimmed her interest in him, as they had met whenever they had
been within a short plane ride of each other. Eventually, their jobs had
stretched their bond, like taffy, to the breaking point. Getting together had
simply become too difficult, so they hadn’t.
