Description

At the tender age of six, Penelope Watkins fell for her best friend’s brother, Evan Donovan, future hunk. By the time they were teenagers, they were having heart-to-hearts…and hot and heavy top secret make-out sessions. All that changed when Evan’s father suddenly died. Abruptly, Penelope lost him to grief—and to his true love: football. But now an injury has ended Evan’s NFL career. The notorious bad boy is in a depression no one can penetrate, except maybe the one woman who still knows him best—and still wants him most . . .

Penelope is the last person Evan wants witnessing the wreck he’s become. So when she shows up at his door he’s less than welcoming—though the sight of her brings back the same old rush of desire. As a teenager, the emotions overwhelmed him. Now, when he wants to be overwhelmed, Penelope isn’t playing. She’s telling the golden boy it’s time to man up. It may have taken a concussion to realize it, but that’s exactly what he wants to do—starting with her . . .
