Despite being co-owner of The Hot Zone, Sophie Jordan prides herself on being cool, calm, and collected. So, why do all her logic and analytical powers fail her whenever Riley Nash walks in the door and turns on the charm?

Football star Riley Nash has always played by his own rules, rebelling against a father who never even recognized him. Now he has to come to grips with the fact that he must play by Sophie’s game rules because he wants nothing more than to win.

Sophie is alone and dealing with a media crisis when, to add to the chaos, in walks Riley who has always unsettled her with his good looks and sexual magnetism. He delivers a stunning revelation that draws them together on a wild ride. Sparks fly and these two heat up quickly, despite the problems that seem to wait at every turn to knock them two steps back for every one step forward. Both are scrambling to do damage control. Each is trying to protect their own heart; will they be able to see what they have in each other before it is too late?

Ms Phillips does a wonderful job of showing how fear can and will stymie even the best relationship. Riley and Sophie’s support of each other was wonderful, and the sex does not disappoint. With some sharp, snappy dialogue and wickedly funny supporting characters, this book is a great read for anyone that loves a romance with humor and heart.
