Quiet. Reserved. Mysterious. Off limits. Fortune Parker is the star wide receiver for the Miami Matrix and his coach has one rule for his players: Don’t date my daughter. As the public relations manager for the team, Lea Sterling’s entire job revolves around covering up the players’ darkest, dirtiest secrets with the press. She never minded that her dad set a precedent with his players to keep them away… until the day Fortune signed with the team. It’s been nearly four years since then, and while the two of them haven’t talked much at work, they’ve spent hours messaging behind hidden identities. Then, one night changes everything. And the only question is whether they should stay away from each other until his contract is up at the end of the season or risk ruining their careers? ** The Silent Count is a full length romance that ends in a happily ever after. While it can be read as a standalone, it is recommended to read the first two books in the series as this book contains spoilers and has a partially overlapping timeline with The Red Zone.
