THE
SOCCER PLAYER AND THE SINGLE MOM
For most women, working for a sexy
soccer star would be a dream come true. All except
single mom Felicity Shaw. She has no
interest in playing personal assistant for a
stubborn, injured playboy—no matter
how nice his abs are. But with bills piling up and
mouths to feed, she can’t say no to
the job.
That’s when it gets interesting.
The last thing Scott Gillie wants or
needs is a persistent and entirely too distracting PA
while he’s recuperating in his small
hometown. Unfortunately, it’s not up to him. Then
Felicity and her son end up
temporarily moving in—all thanks to his meddlesome
grandmother. Now temptation is right
across the hall and it’s driving Scott crazy.
His only option is to fight fire with
fire.

Excerpt:
“Aw,
Mom.” Tyler’s shoulders sank for a moment, then the boy perked back up. “Did
you hear what Scott said? Dr. Bedi was one of the best.”
“I
did. Now lie down so the poor man can get some sleep. I’ll be there to tuck you
back in in a minute.”
And
there’s my cue. Scott gathered his crutch while Tyler
did as his mother asked. No doubt about it, those two had a special bond. The
realization brought with it the ache of his own loss, far less potent than it’d
been when he was twelve, but still there nonetheless. Scott gave Tyler a fist
bump then made his way to the door. Felicity followed him into the hall,
pulling the door shut behind them.
“Did
he wake you?”
“Yeah.
Said he had a bad dream. No big deal.”
“Sorry
about that. He was asleep when I…” She sighed. “It’s been a really long day.”
Felicity’s
gaze slid to the bathroom at the end of the hall, and she chewed at her lower
lip. He wished she wouldn’t, because it had him considering her lips and how
kissable they appeared to be. Her cinnamon and vanilla scent wrapped around his
senses, teasing them, luring him in.
Before
he knew what he was doing, Scott took a step closer. “Really, it was no big
deal.”
She
looked to him, pupils darkening in the dim light at the shrinking space between
them. He knew he shouldn’t, knew he should keep his distance and keep things
purely platonic between them, but all he could think was that he’d go mad if he
didn’t get one small taste of her.
Her
gaze slipped to his bare chest, and Felicity swallowed loudly. Heat spread
through his veins. Still, she held her ground. Scott took another step closer,
growing more and more intoxicated by her scent. His attention shifted from the
endless depths of those brown eyes to her lips, now slightly parted. Just
one kiss, he told himself as her eyes drifted shut.
Just
one…
He
brushed his nose alongside hers. She drew in a soft breath.
…tiny…
His
lips feathered across hers. Felicity angled her face toward him.
…kiss.
“Mom?”
The
door behind them creaked on its hinges, and Felicity’s eyes went wide. She
withdrew as though bitten by a snake and took a hurried step back as Tyler’s
profile came into view.
“What
are you guys doing out here?” he asked, rubbing his eyes.
“Nothing,”
she said in a squeak. “I was, um, just thanking Scott for making sure you were
okay earlier, sweetheart.”
Nothing?
Scott wet his lips, still tingling from where Felicity’s had pressed against
them. The kiss might have been brief and sweet, but “nothing” wasn’t how he
would describe it.
“Now,
go back to bed and wait there for me,” she continued, her voice stronger now.
“If you get up again, we’re going to have words.”
“Fine.”
Tyler’s shoulders slumped as he walked away, the door left open and forgotten.
Probably a good thing, as Scott’s body foolishly wanted another kiss. His mind,
however, knew better.
Felicity
met his gaze, a delightful flush tinting her cheeks. “Anyway, thank you again
for sitting with Tyler. I’m sure it meant the world to him.”
The
world to him? Scott shook his head. He wasn’t used to playing the role of
protector against dark shadows and creaky floors. At home, it was just him in
his apartment, getting ready for the next day, the next practice, the next
game.
Which
is the way it needs to be, he reminded himself. Just him,
getting ready for the next day. Alone.
The
last thing he wanted was to mislead Felicity, and another kiss might do
precisely that. So rather than pull her out of Tyler’s view and pick up where
they’d left off, he started for his room with a nod.
“Like I said, no big deal.”
