Trapped and Tackled

Knoxville Coyotes kicker, Talon Miller, is off-limits.

For starters, my dad is the Coyotes Head Coach, and I don't date his players.

More than that, I'm reeling from a breakup.

The man I thought I was going to marry hurt me in ways I'm still processing, and I know better than to dive into a new romantic entanglement. Especially one with a charming, larger-than-life football player.

When my dad assigns Talon as my chaperone for a weekend getaway with friends, I'm humiliated. But that weekend proves to be more than either of us bargains for.

I see the real Talon — the man behind the charismatic, playboy reputation. He's thoughtful and perceptive, understanding and sincere. He's also adamant about protecting me.

Talon makes me feel safe and cared for. As a result, I confide in him. Trust him. Want him.

A spark ignites between us, and it changes everything. Because I'm trapped in a situation I shouldn't be in, and Talon is determined to tackle my demons.

Even the ones that threaten to destroy me.
