One Night Valentine by Hope Ford

It’s not a question of IF this football star can resist the curvy florist but rather WHEN he’ll give in…

It is said that you only want what you cannot have. I hate to be a cliche, but that statement rings true for me.
In my case it’s not what I want, but rather who. Tara Brooks. Sweet, funny, and my little sister’s best friend. I’ve got a list of reasons why I’m no good for her, starting with the fact that I’m a decade older. She’s just starting out and I’m about to retire.
Still, I’m used to getting what I want. And I’ve never been very good at following the rules.
So it seemed harmless when she asked me to be her fake date to her sister and ex-boyfriend’s wedding. There was no way I was letting her endure that on her own.
When the lines between what is real and what’s fake blur, I’m left wondering if I can be the man she needs, or will I fumble the best play of my life?
