The Blake Boys Collection — Rhonda Laurel

For the Love of the Game

"This quarterback is making the greatest play of his life..."

Quiet bookstore owner Morgan Reed can't wait to lie on the beach on her much-needed tropical vacation, but getting tackled by a tall, green-eyed stranger playing touch football isn't exactly what she had in mind. Neither is falling for said stranger, or going along with the eccentric islander who sends them off with a mock wedding. But all's fair when it comes to vacation romance, and Morgan has plenty of time to get back to reality when she gets home.

When he slams into the beautiful Morgan on the beach and sends her to the infirmary, superstar quarterback Seth Blake insists on helping her recover--if she agrees to share his bungalow with him. Seth is nothing less than smitten, and the best part is that the beauty has no idea who he is.

But when he finds out that their little "wedding" was the real thing, Seth finds himself in a sticky situation. Especially when Morgan finds out the man she fell for isn't at all who he made himself out to be...

MVP

"The game has just begun..."

Morgan Reed-Blake discovers that being the wife of MVP quarterback Seth Blake has its perks...and its challenges. Thrust into Seth's high-profile world, she must wade through the celebrity, status, and the ghosts of girlfriends past. So when Seth takes Morgan home to his ranch in Texas and introduces her to his family and friends, she's not surprised when his high school sweetheart comes to call. Morgan suspects she wants to rekindle the flame, and how can she blame her? Distraught over the changes their relationship has caused for Seth, Morgan wonders if maybe he's better off without her.

Pro quarterback Seth Blake is elated that his wife Morgan is giving their "fake" marriage a real chance. But he doesn't anticipate running into the woman who broke his heart years ago. He hasn't told Morgan about the complicated relationship with his ex, but as he guides Morgan through the maze of his celebrity lifestyle, can he convince her the past is in the past? The MVP does not accept defeat, and he's determined not to lose. But winning Morgan might be the most difficult game of his life...

Her bookstore is expanding, her charitable organization is growing, and she's been offered her dream job on the literacy council. Everything in her Philadelphia world is coming up roses. Until Seth's contract with the Titans expires, and his dream of returning home comes close enough to touch...and then the powers that be in Texas start romancing Seth in earnest. Morgan and Seth both have dreams. But a choice has to be made...
