The last time I saw Nevada Kane, I was 17, and he was loading his things into the back of his truck, about to embark on a 14-hour drive to the only college that offered him a full ride to play basketball.

Until 10 years later, when Nevada unexpectedly returned to our hometown after an abrupt retirement from his professional basketball career. Suddenly, he was everywhere.

Thinking I’d never see him again, imagine my surprise when he popped into my store to ask me out on a date. To say I was thrown a bit off-kilter would be an understatement. Maybe that was why I eventually accepted. Or it could be because I knew my best friend would disown me if I kept turning him down. Not to mention, the man had enough charm to fill my boutique and then some.

I was one of the top quarterbacks in the league, riding high after scoring a lucrative deal with the DC Rockets. Fans adored me, sponsors wanted me, and women, well, they were eager to date me. Except my life revolved around football, not falling in love. Until I saw her. I’d just scored the winning touchdown, sending the Rockets into the playoffs and ending the Virginia Thunder’s season. I spiked the ball and basked in the fans’ cheers. I’d done it. But then I took off my helmet and locked eyes with a gorgeous blonde.

Between college, surfing, and girls, Trent was living his best free-spirited life in Miami. He was careful not to let anything complicate that. So, when he met Kate, and they quickly became friends, he made sure to keep it that way. Better to play it safe than to risk losing her to a casual hookup. Kate was an independent girl who loved surfing, shopping, and partying with her friends. Her only hang-up in life was the hopeless crush she had on Trent. She couldn’t believe she had allowed herself to fall for the most unavailable guy she knew.

Darby Culhane is the new farmer in Whynot, North Carolina, and she’s proving to be quite the forbidden temptation for Colt. Darby isn’t looking for anything but a fresh start, and she’s got it all figured out. Get settled in? Check. Apply for the rural county grant? Check. Confrontation with the steaming-mad, smoking-hot local farmer? Well, that wasn’t on the agenda. As pretty as she is sweet, Colt can’t help but be drawn to Darby’s...peaches. No really, she’s a peach farmer.

Most women fall for me pretty fast. Maybe it's my killer combo of muscles and good looks, or maybe it's my reputation of always leaving them satisfied, if not panting for more. But there's one thing I never do, and that's get involved for longer than it takes for both of us to get off a few times. Until Hannah Miller, that is. Somehow, she made me break all my own rules.

After Kate’s world had shattered into pieces, she pushed everyone away, including Trent, and hid. She knew she couldn’t hide forever. So, in an effort to move forward, she built castle-strong walls to hide behind, walls that Trent had every intention of tearing down. Embarrassed and ashamed that her secrets were now out in the open, she was reluctant to let Trent back into her life. His refusal to allow her to continue to push him away had her heart shifting in a way she wasn’t prepared for. Trent wasn’t prepared to feel the same shift in his heart either.

I wanted her the moment I first saw her. Chanelle Nicolls, the great CNN reporter, was more beautiful in person than on TV. Looking into her gorgeous eyes was like being struck by lightning. The feeling was enchanting. I'd never before wanted to possess a woman. But I wanted to make Chanelle Nicolls mine. Mine... This word, which had so far been unfamiliar to me, appeared in my mind. Something was changing in me, too quickly and dangerously.

Imagine you were at your best friend’s engagement party in Vegas. You were super excited because you were the maid of honor, and the best man was the hottest football player you’d ever seen. Even this guy’s position as tight end was appropriate for his, well...tight end. Anyway, there was something about his cocky attitude that ruffled your feathers and turned you on at the same time. Maybe it was the way he challenged you or because women seemed to flock to the gorgeous man. But according to him, he only had eyes for you.

Life is a numb cycle of faceless women, wicked nights, and trying to forget. He is just a body women crave, nothing more. A shell that was once a US Marine...looking for something to fill the void where his heart used to be, but nothing fits. Until he meets her. Until he meets the one woman who doesn’t fall for his careless charm, his smirk, his golden tongue. The one woman who brings light into his darkness. She is nothing like the women he's met before, and he finds himself intrigued by her.
