Chicago Stars quarterback Dean Robillard is the luckiest
man in the world: a bona-fide sports superstar and the
pride of the NFL with a profitable side career as a buff
billboard model for End Zone underwear. But life in the
glory lane has started to pale, and Dean has set off on a
cross-country trip to figure out what's gone wrong. When he
hits a lonely stretch of Colorado highway, he spies
something that will shake up his gilded life in ways he
can't imagine. A young woman . . . dressed in a beaver
suit.
Blue Bailey is on a mission to murder her ex. Or at least
inflict serious damage. As for the beaver suit she's
wearing . . . Is it her fault that life keeps throwing her
curveballs? Witness the expensive black sports car pulling
up next to her on the highway and the Greek god stepping
out of it.
Blue's career as a portrait painter is the perfect job for
someone who refuses to stay in one place for very long. She
needs a ride, and America's most famous football player has
an imposing set of wheels. Now, all she has to do is keep
him entertained, off guard, and fully clothed before he
figures out exactly how desperate she is.
But Dean isn't the brainless jock she imagines, and Blue—
despite her petite stature—is just about the toughest woman
Dean has ever met. They're soon heading for his summer home
where their already complicated lives and inconvenient
attraction to each other will become entangled with a
charismatic but aging rock star; a beautiful fifty-two-year-
old woman trying to make peace with her rock and roll past;
an eleven-year-old who desperately needs a family; and a
bitter old woman who hates them all.
As the summer progresses, the wandering portrait artist and
the charming football star play a high-stakes game,
fighting themselves and each other for a chance to have it
all.
