The author of Risky Game returns with a football team owner who’s a real player, and the woman who’s ready to call him out on everything...
Dot-com millionaire Jay McManus is discovering that owning a pro football team like the Baltimore Blaze isn’t easy. An anonymous blogger is out to destroy his reputation, and now his team is being sued by its own cheerleaders. If Jay’s not careful, he could lose big—and not just financially.
Bridgett Janik’s brother may play for the Baltimore Blaze, but she’s not thrilled to be defending Jay McManus, the man who broke her heart. It’s bad enough she has to mingle with Jay during games, but working beside her former lover may be too much for her body—and her heart—to resist.
Jay’s determined not to let Bridgett slip away from him a second time. But, as the two follow the mysterious blogger’s trail, secrets—both past and present—are revealed, and Jay and Bridgett must decide if their relationship can be something more than just sleeping with the enemy.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE ��! Born in South Jersey, The Eagles are tattooed on my heart. I've been bleeding since 1967.
ReplyDeleteOur high school football team was quite good. It was sort of a 3 way competition in our area between 3 high schools, but the primary competition was between our county team and the city team.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were stationed in Colorado, we attended many of the Air Force Academy games. they were loads of fun, especially the ones against the other military academies. We also became fans of the Denver Broncos while there.
For college teams, there is only one. My husband attended the University of Florida, so the Gators are our favorites. Makes it difficult for us since we live deep in University of Tennessee territory and that rivalry is not pretty.
Twenty-four years ago I was converted to a Texas A&M Aggies fan by my former student husband. Since both my kids are currently attending A&M that's not going to change. :-)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy watching football though I'm more of a hockey fan. The team I root for most is the Bisons from my school years.
ReplyDeleteI very much enjoy watching many college football teams esp the ones from the south since im originally from that direction

ReplyDeleteI'm not fan of football, and not even of "footie" as it' called in England.
ReplyDeleteMy home team the San Diego Chargers. Though they likely won't be in San Diego after this year.
