A Sunday Kind of Love — David Benjamin

Trish is torn, between her lifelong moral code and her seething desire for the man she loves -- who happens to be happily married.Or is he? As the story begins, Trish realizes that her secret love is a one-way heartache. She must make her boss, Allen Andrews, fall in love with her. So -- guiltily -- Trish tries. She makes herself over, tarts herself up and follows every chapter in the book of love. But still, Allen barely notices… Because his deepest, maddest love is the Green Bay Packers -- more important to him than wife, family, career, peace of mind. Tragically, the Packer he loves the most is legendary quarterback Brett Favre -- who has broken Allen's heart by signing with the New York Jets. To win the man of her dreams, Trish discovers that she must wage her romance on the "frozen tundra" of Lambeau Field. A Sunday Kind of Love is the rare novel that captures the unique madness of the sports fan while appealing equally to the non-fan. Benjamin depicts lovingly Trish's wry and ribald education in sports-bred lunacy -- and provides an ending to satisfy the romantic in all of us.
