Knoxville Coyotes kicker, Talon Miller, is off-limits. For starters, my dad is the Coyotes Head Coach, and I don’t date his players. More than that, I’m reeling from a breakup. The man I thought I was going to marry hurt me in ways I’m still processing, and I know better than to dive into a new romantic entanglement. Especially one with a charming, larger-than-life football player. When my dad assigns Talon as my chaperone for a weekend getaway with friends, I’m humiliated. But that weekend proves to be more than either of us bargains for. I see the real Talon—the man behind the charismatic, playboy reputation. He’s thoughtful and perceptive, understanding and sincere. He’s also adamant about protecting me. Talon makes me feel safe and cared for. As a result, I confide in him. Trust him. Want him. A spark ignites between us, and it changes everything. Because I’m trapped in a situation I shouldn’t be in, and Talon is determined to tackle my demons. Even the ones that threaten to destroy me.
