About The Story

Official Book Synopsis

Betty Davenport has poured every ounce of her savings and soul into building her online fashion boutique. She doesn't have time for heartbreak—even if her ex-fiancé just proved to be the biggest mistake of her life. When her best friends convince her that the quickest cure for a bruised heart is a low-stakes rebound, Betty laughs it off.

Until she walks into the recreation center to drop off sponsorship jerseys and nearly gets knocked over by Baylor Griffin.

Baylor is pure sunshine wrapped in six-foot-three of basketball coach charm. He's funny, flirtatious, and makes Betty laugh harder than she has in years. He's also strictly interested in keeping things light and fun.

A no-strings rebound fling seems like the perfect arrangement. But as casual court-side dates turn into late-night vulnerability and breathless kisses, Betty realizes she's playing a very dangerous game—and Baylor might just be playing to win her forever.

Offense and Defense

Rule Number One of recovering from a public breakup: Do not attend social gatherings where you might be pitied.

Rule Number Two: Definitely do not deliver athletic sponsorship boxes while wearing four-inch stilettos.

I learned both rules simultaneously when the double doors of the community recreation gym swung inward, and an errant regulation leather basketball came rocketing directly toward my nose.

'Heads up!' a deep baritone bellowed.

Before I could scream—or worse, sacrifice my favorite Mulberry tote—a large hand intercepted the ball with a resounding slap, inches from my forehead. The rush of displaced air ruffled my hair.

I looked up. And up. Straight into a set of laughing hazel eyes framed by unruly dark waves and a smile that ought to have come with a surgeon general's warning.

'Nice catch,' I managed, willing my voice not to betray the fact that my pulse was doing triple overtime.

'You okay, gorgeous?' Baylor Griffin spun the basketball on his index finger like it was second nature, his gaze sweeping over me with unmistakable appreciation. 'Because around here, we usually prefer our sponsors un-concussed.'
