When I pulled into Snow Tip Falls, there was nothing about it that made me want to stay. It’s a beautiful small town, but if you stop running, your problems have a way of catching up with you. However, when tragedy strikes, it’s hard not to help. And when the person needing help is a chiseled football player with brooding eyes and dimples, I’m reminded of the other purpose of my trip, to have a one night stand that finally rids me of my v-card.

I can’t tell you why Lou has dated so many guys, but watching him do it has torn me up inside. Now he needs someone to pretend to be his fiancé for a weekend. I’m his best friend. Of course I’m gonna do it.

With NFL scouts watching my every move, the last thing I should be thinking about is Quinton Toro, my awkwardly sexy genius of a tutor who makes me think about breaking my headboard. I might fantasize about everything about him at night, but I’ve worked too hard for too long to slip up now. But if it came down to having him or a career in the NFL, which would I choose? The answer should be obvious, right? Then why can’t I get the lustful way he looks at me out of my mind? 

Most people wouldn't consider East Tennessee University the big city. But when you come from a small town like Snow Tip Falls, it’s more than you can handle. And when you've lived your life with secrets and the football universe shines that big ol' light on you, it's enough to push you over the edge. At least, it did me. It's a good thing Kendall was there to catch me. He doesn't remember the day we met, but I do. It was the moment I confirmed what I always thought: I like guys. 

I want to hit him or kiss him and neither is appropriate. After all, I'm his boss. Between you and me.... I've got quite a few things I'd like to order this cocky genius to do. But my grandpa didn't raise no fools.
