Quarterback Sneak

Stacy Halligan has spent her adult life focusing on her career, choosing men with far less care than she does her professional path. That's probably the reason all of her relationships end in disaster. Now, she's senior editor of the magazine where she works, and she was so sure this latest hunk would be the one. When he dumps her just before Valentine's Day, who does she complain to? As always, her nextdoor neighbor and friend, backup quarterback Max Sullivan. She sees Max as her best friend. Comfortable. Easy to be with.

Max doesn't mind hanging out with Stacy, but in the three years they've lived next door to each other, he's hoped for a lot more. Now, he sees his opening. When he offers to put on a blitz leading up to Valentine's Day to make the guy jealous, he has an ulterior motive. He wants to show her he's the one she should pick because he wants Stacy for himself. His campaign includes chocolate, flowers, little gifts, and hopefully, really hot sex. Because he's been dying forever to get her into his bed and keep her there.

Will this work? He only has until Valentine's Day to find out.
