Playing center field for the New York Kings, Jake Woodbury has one of the most prestigious jobs in all of sports. To the world, he's the good-looking, soft-spoken minister's son who’s survived celebrity without a hint of scandal. But, inside, he's reeling from a secret that seems destined to haunt him forever.
Scarlett Moore is one of the biggest pop stars on the planet, famous for singing about her celebrity ex-boyfriends. The CEO of her record label has carefully honed her provocative image since she was fifteen. Sex sells, and Scarlett’s well aware that it takes more than talent to stay on top.One thing is clear: She’s the last thing Jake needs. And he’s the do-gooder jock she should avoid at all costs. But when the game begins, all bets are off.
Excerpt
Later that
night, I'm stretched out next to her in bed, still sweating and breathing hard,
when she turns to me and asks, "Jake, how many girls have you been
with?"
I glance over
at her. "Where’s this coming from?"
"Tell me.
I want to know."
I watch her
fingers play with the dark thatch of hair on my chest. "Why?” I stall.
"Because
you're way too good at this," she huffs, rolling onto her back.
I press my
head into the pillow and laugh, shaking the bed.
"What?"
she cries, slapping my arm. "You are!"
I close my
eyes, really not wanting to do this. "Four," I mutter under my
breath.
"Four?"
she repeats like she couldn't possibly have heard me right. "Four
hundred?"
"No, just
four."
She sits up
and leans over me. "You're kidding, right?"
I open my eyes
to meet her gaze. "Nope, that's it."
"Am I one
of the four?" she asks softly.
"Uh
huh."
She thinks I'm
this raging stud, and it sucks to have to disappoint her.
ABOUT COLLETTE WEST
Collette West grew up as somewhat of a jock-nerd hybrid. Entering the world three weeks premature, her dad nearly missed her birth because he had seats behind the dugout for a sold-out, highly-anticipated match-up between two of baseball's biggest rivals. Not to be outdone, her book-loving mom taught her how to read by the time she was three. A love of the game coupled with an appreciation for the written word were instilled in Collette's impressionable brain from a young age. No wonder her characters believe in the philosophy: sports + romance = a little slice of heaven.Splitting her time between the Pocono Mountains and Manhattan, Collette indulges her inner fangirl by going to as many games as she can from hockey to baseball and downloading every sports romance novel in existence onto her iPad. When she's not clicking away on her laptop, she enjoys walking her dog in Central Park, satisfying her caffeine craving at the Starbucks on Broadway and keeping an eye out for Mr. Right. But above all, she loves dishing with her readers. Email her at collette_west@yahoo.com.
She is the author of the New York Kings series which includes: NIGHT GAMES, GAME CHANGER, GAME ON, PERFECT GAME, INSIDE GAME and GAME WINNER.
