BOOK SYNOPSIS

Known for his record-breaking stats and womanizing ways, wide receiver, Buddy Carruthers, would give it all up for one 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?

EXCERPT

“I’m the same crazy guy you used to love.”

“Nobody’s the same after five years. Life changes people.”

“You’re the same beautiful, sweet girl I fell for.”

“Not really. Life’s changed me. I’m not so sweet anymore.”

“There’s a difference between sweet and stupid. You were never stupid.”

She laughed. “Some compliment.”

He colored. “You know what I mean.” Time to go for the touchdown.

“Yeah, I do.” She smiled up at him.

Buddy leaned down to kiss her. “If you don’t want me, I promise not to bother you again.”
