When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.
I believe in living my best life, and if surviving cancer taught me anything, itβs exactly that. I wake every day in the most beautiful city in the South, Iβm a chef at my own restaurant, and everything is just the way I want it: easy, calm, and in perfect harmonyβthat is, until my best friend shows up with his wounded heart, smoldering gaze, and adorable dimples. Now, things are changingβwe are changingβbut with the promises Iβve made to myself, I donβt want them to. After everything Iβve been through, breaking them now seems unthinkable, but the alternative might be a lesson my heartβs not prepared to learn.

Just when you think life is the best itβs ever been, fate has a way of intercepting.
Iβve spent ten years playing in the NFL, and with one wrong hit, my world comes crashing down. Now, Iβm at the crossroads of what might become my past and a very different future. What I need is time and my best friend. Her gorgeous smiles, sexy legs, and optimistic outlook on life make the world brighter, better, and Iβve quickly found myself craving her more and more. She says weβre just friends, says thatβs all weβll ever be, but actions speak louder than words. Itβs time to change the game, and Iβm ready to pass the ball. I just hope sheβll be on the other end to catch it.
Heβs her best friend.
Sheβs quickly turned into something more.
Will making a play for her heart be more bitter than sweet? Or will it add just the right amount of zest to make the most delicious ending of all . . .
