Beth Bolden Playing by the Rules

Ex-quarterback Davis Abernathy knows he's on his last chance. If he strikes out as Paxton Kelly's coach, nobody else is going to call him. Not to get back on the field, and not to stand on the sidelines. He's got a lot to teach Pax, and as a second-year quarterback, Pax has a lot to learn. But Davis doesn't anticipate the irresistible way they'll be drawn together from their first meeting. He never could have predicted such a fierce and uncontrollable yearning-or that Pax would feel the same. It should be easy to remember rules aren't meant to be broken, and certain lines aren't meant to be crossed, but the only thing that's easy is falling totally, completely in love with Pax. As Davis falls harder, Pax succeeding becomes just as important-and maybe more so-than resurrecting his own career. If he messes this up, his last chance isn't all he'll be sacrificing. What he should be is focused on being the perfect mentor. But what he wants is Pax in his bed, Pax in his life, and more impossibly, to win Pax's heart forever.
