First & Ten Series

Griff Montgomery, Quarterback
He wants to find a wife. She doesn't want to marry again. Not exactly a match made in heaven. Or are they? Griff Montgomery, star quarterback of the Kings and a womanizer, became a stand-in father for his widowed sister's kids. His happy family life collapses when she moves to California. Griff wants his own family. But where does a "player" go to find a mate?
Having sworn off marriage, Lauren Farraday barely keeps her life together after
her divorce. With her career shaky and depression closing in, the last thing she needs is a courtroom battle with a sexy athlete.
Forced, by a judge, into an uneasy truce, the pair denies their growing chemistry. Wary of Griff's womanizing reputation, and hiding a secret, Lauren keeps him at arm's length. Can the quarterback handle the truth or will he walk away, like he has in the past?

Buddy Carruthers, Wide Receiver
Known for his record-breaking stats and womanizing ways, wide receiver, Buddy Carruthers, would give it all up for one more chance to win the only woman he ever wanted, Emmy Meacham. Hard-won games, and traveling half the season kept Buddy from pursuing his secret passion. Even if he managed to corner her for a moment, would she still care?
Now a rock star known as Emerald, Emmy lived her life on the road with no time for love. In her dreams, she longed to turn back the clock and spend another night with Buddy. But lies and deceit had kept them apart for five years. Would a chance meeting wash away those years or cause old wounds to resurface? Could two lives traveling in opposite directions make room for love or would they continue to spin, out of sync, and always alone?
