Season of Desire — Jan Mathews

When strong-willed socialite Laureen Reisel inherits controlling shares in a near-bankrupt foot- ball team, she also acquires its star player, Vince DiMoro--who just happens to despise rich women.

Tension crackles between them--and then Vince arrogantly declares they'll share passion's embrace after the team's first victory. She is enraged at his brazen presumption...yet all too aware of his masculine appeal. One moonlit night he reveals a charming, vulnerable side of himself she's never seen... and her defenses topple in a tumult of passion. But unless Vince can put his bitterness aside, they're doomed to replay past disasters.
