The Final Touchdown

Football player Gage Gutierrez is off-limits. As a sought-after sports agent, becoming romantically involved with a client is a line I won't cross. It doesn't matter that I've crushed on Gage for years. Or that he's constantly thoughtful and deliciously flirty. I won't jeopardize my career. But when my favorite client goes off-the-grid with an endorsement deal on the table, I'm forced to track him down. Even if it means traveling to Valencia, Spain.I blame the sunshine and the sea for lowering my defenses. I blame the man who always has my back for drawing me closer. Here, resisting Gage is nearly impossible. Especially when he sees below my façade, to the bone-deep exhaustion and haunting loneliness I'm grappling with and offers to shoulder some of my burdens. I can't fall for my client. Even if he's on the brink of retirement. Even if he claims that I'm his final touchdown. ***The Final Touchdown is a Knoxville Coyotes Football novella.
