The Proposition — Shirley Harrison

A successful engineer, Carolyn Hardy was less than impressed when recklessly charming football star Michael Hennessey made her an offer she was happy to refuse. Now, two years later, he's returned to Atlanta, and she can't believe how determined he is to take his life seriously---or how passionately he feels about re-igniting their simmering attraction. This new Michael is someone she could fall with. But when a major scandal destroys his reputation, and threatens to ruin his family and career, Carolyn must confront her own doubts to discover the truth...and her own heart.
