Wish For It — Mary E. Thompson

Allison always had her head in the clouds. Literally. As a flight attendant, she lived for travel, adventure, and the occasional (or frequent) one night stand to add excitement to her already fun life. But a drunk passenger is a first, even for her, to take home after a flight. Allison blames it on her loneliness, but she knows it was his eyes that made her want to take care of the stranger when he couldn't take care of himself.

Cole wakes up in a strange bedroom wondering how he could have been so stupid. He couldn't remember anything about how he'd gotten there or who the woman he'd clearly spent the night with was. He was supposed to be there on business. He'd had enough pleasure to make him want to kill himself. Especially since the last woman he'd spent the night with claimed she hadn't invited him, and that he'd crossed the line.

Panicked, Cole calls his agent and immediately offers the beautiful woman more money than she clearly made in a year. Instead of jumping at the chance, she acts insulted and throws them out.

Which makes Cole wonder who she really is.

Allison hopes she never sees him again, but when he turns up at her door later the same day, with flowers and an apology, she's tempted to let him off easy. Tempted, but not stupid.

As the two dance around how much they want each other, and how insane their instant attraction was, Cole is fighting for everything he ever wanted, on and off the field.
