Clock Play (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798999403360)

AUSTIN

All I ever wanted was to play football. I made it my life, sacrificing romantic relationships, figuring I'd have all the time in the world after I hung up my cleats for good. But here I am: in my late thirties, single, and ready to accept that I may never have a family of my own. But everything changes the moment I lay eyes on Paris Bellamy-the beautiful, strong, captivating single mother of three who's more than ten years my junior.

I'm supposed to be coaching her sons and working alongside her at the Renegades facility, but when my cravings to care for her become too incessant to ignore, I find myself on her doorstep, desperate to be let in.

She wants to find herself after years of being torn down by her toxic ex. I'm determined to show her just how priceless she is, but can I be the man she needs? Or will I be left to go on without the woman and children who've quickly become the best part of my days?

PARIS

Being married with a baby before having a high school diploma certainly wasn't what I had planned for my life. Neither was being a divorced mother of three at twenty-six years old, but that's exactly where I ended up. Now, as the brand-new administrative assistant to the owner of the Rock City Renegades, I'm finally excited to be standing on my own after relying on others for far too long.

The last thing I expected was to develop a crush on my sons' football coach, retired Renegades quarterback, Austin Baker. Unfortunately, his bright blue eyes and unyielding charm pulled me under at first sight, and now he's showing me what it's like to be cared for in ways I never thought I was worthy of.

My kids adore him, and I'm falling fast, but am I enough to keep a man like Austin Baker happy? Or has my past broken me so badly that I have nothing left to offer?
