Rip Cord — Jeanne St. James

NOTE: This is the third book in the Rip Cord trilogy. The first two are combined into one edition (Rip Cord: Omnibus) which includes: Rip Cord: The Reunion & The Weekend. It is recommended to read these stories in order.

Rip Cord, the infamous Bad Boy of the NFL, ends up on Gil Davis's front porch drunk as a skunk. Not only has he been fired by his franchise, but also his sports agent. His last brawl on the football field during a prime-time game was the final straw.

Accounting geek Gil Davis hasn't seen his on-again, off-again lover since the summer when the professional football player whisked him away for a kinky, sex-filled getaway weekend. But immediately after, Rip returned to the NFL and was on the road leaving no time for Gil.

Now Rip wants to come back into Gil's life one more time, this time to not only make a future with him, but to finally admit who he really is deep down inside. After hiding his sexual preference since he was a teen, Rip realizes he's made too many bad choices along the way. It's time to make the right choice with Gil.

But is Gil ready to forgive Rip for keeping him at a distance? And more importantly, after two false starts, can they finally live happily ever after?
