Fire in Paradise — Betty Henrichs

She thought she'd had enough of football to last her a lifetime. A bad marriage to a star football player had left journalist Ashley Buchannan with a love and knowledge of the game but a healthy distrust of the men who played it.

How could she know that Zane would be the one to set her own pulse racing...to ignite a passion so urgent, it defied control? It was impossible to deny the breathless truth of her feelings, but how long could she keep an uneasy secret from the man destined to teach her everything about love?
