This Hail Mary play for the heart is the latest sports
romance in the sizzling Out of Bounds series.
Bridal gown designer Julianne Marchione knows better than
to lose her head at a clientβs wedding. But, much to her
embarrassment, a mix of migraine medication and a smoking
hot football player lead to a steamy one night stand
resulting in a surprise pregnancy. Julianne has every
intention of leaving her NFL hookup far in the past until
her son, Owen, is born with a life-threatening blood
disorder that requires a transfusionβand Julianne is not a
match.
Will βWilliam the Conquerorβ Connelly grew
up tough, shouldering the stigma of being a bastard child
born on the wrong side of the tracks. He refuses to let any
child face the same discrimination. When he finds out about
Owen, heβs furious that Julianne kept his son a secret. But
when he sees her again at the hospital, he realizes that his
feelings for her go far beyond anger.
Will
insists that Owen recuperate at his home in North Carolina,
and heβs adamant that Julianne become his wifeβeven if itβs
only a temporary marriage in name only. But will their
simmering attraction ever lead to a real connection? Or are
they just playing foolish games?
