Showing results for "With Scott" in Sports

When I met Wyatt Stone, I figured the game would weave its way into my young heart and become a part of my first real love. When I married him, I assumed my life would follow the same path as my mother's—the wife of an NFL quarterback, with all the highs and lows that come along with it. But when Wyatt didn't get picked in the draft, everything changed. And Wyatt's light, however hard he fought to keep it alive, dimmed. Football has a funny way of operating in this family, though. It lingers, like the haze that hovers over my family's ranch fields in the Arizona desert horizon.

I wasn't looking to change my "bad boy of baseball" reputation. At least not until my dream girl, Pop Princess Alexis Bodega, stepped foot in my clubhouse to sing for the stadium on opening day. There's just one problem, and it's a big one. Her manager is also her boyfriend, and her father is her agent. She's kept on a tight leash with her incredibly busy schedule, and I'm at the start of a new baseball season with a new team. It's the worst time to explore this attraction with the wrong girl, but that doesn't stop me from fighting my way backstage at her surprise performance in Vegas.

It started out like any other Tuesday. I spent 12 hours writing algorithms for one of the largest companies in the world and then came home to work on a pet project of mine—feeding facts about the men I knew into a formula to find my perfect match before my twenties came barreling to a close.

Holden Parish survived his parents' horrific attempts to make him the perfect son. After a year's stint in a Swiss sanitarium to recover, he has vowed to never let anything, nor anyone, trap him again. Brilliant but broken, he seeks refuge behind alcohol, meaningless sex, and uses his wicked sense of humor to keep people away. He only has to ride out one year in the coastal town of Santa Cruz with his aunt and uncle before he inherits his billions and can make his escape and disappear. Falling in love is not in the plans.

I didn't follow Wyatt Stone to college; I followed my heart. He just happened to be there. Against the odds, our love has only grown stronger over the last three years. Now Wyatt's entering his final college football season, only a few months away from the pro draft this spring. And despite how hard I tried to deny living the same love story as my parents, it seems I'm destined to become the wife of an NFL quarterback. Forever the cheerleader. Truthfully? I can't imagine life turning out any other way.

Saffron A. Kent presents Book 3 in the Bad Boys of Bardstown series.

Football has been my life. Not that I ever had a choice in the matter. When your dad is a retired, future Hall-of-Fame quarterback, the gridiron tends to weave its way into your DNA. I always loved the game, but I could do without the spotlight that comes with being Peyton Johnson, the great Reed Johnson's daughter. To make matters worse, when my dad retired from the NFL, he decided his second calling was to take over the head coaching gig at my high school, where he had coached my boyfriend for the last three years. Correction—my ex-boyfriend.

Sutter Mason is sick and tired of ballplayers. And as far as she's concerned, the broken promise the last ace left her with was her final strike. The problem? Her dad is the coach of the hometown minor league team. And the hot new lefty who just joined the squad? He's her brother's new roommate. This time around, instead of falling for the player, she's going to use him to get what she wants—the perfect case study for her psychology thesis.

Jetzt kann nur noch ein Wunder helfen …

Blake Walker, gefeierter NHL-Star, muss nach einer schweren Verletzung seine Karriere als Profi-Eishockeyspieler aufgeben. Doch er ist entschlossen, seiner Leidenschaft treu zu bleiben – als Coach für Nachwuchsspieler. In der idyllischen Kleinstadt Waydine Hill bekommt er die Chance, die Kinder- und Jugendmannschaft zu trainieren. Dort begegnet er Alicia, einer alleinerziehenden Mutter, deren Sohn im Team spielt. Zwischen Blake und Alicia sprühen die Funken – und zwar gewaltig!

Oliver ist schon immer ein Mann gewesen, der auffällt: Stets hat der talentierte Rugbyspieler einen coolen Spruch parat – und auf dem Spielfeld schreckt er als Außenverteidiger nicht davor zurück, eine Verletzung zu riskieren, um den Gegner aufzuhalten. Als er Amaia kennenlernt, würde er am liebsten auch bei ihr vollen Körpereinsatz zeigen, wenn auch auf andere Art: Sofort fühlt er sich zu der bildhübschen Neuseeländerin hingezogen und wünscht sich, dass zwischen ihnen mehr passiert. Dumm nur, dass Amaia eine Sportmedizinerin mit einer prägenden Vergangenheit ist.

Hollis Taylor is allowed to break the rules. She's coach's little girl. And she's good. If that means she gets to bump one of the guys for the starting catcher's job on the Public High baseball team, then the others on the squad better suck it up and deal. But breaking rules has taken Cannon Jennings far in life. One of the nation's top pitching prospects, he came here to throw to his cousin and show college recruiters everything he could do on the mound. Taking his signs from a girl was not part of his blueprint, especially one that screwed over his favorite relative and best friend.

I've never had many friends. The only one I thought I could count on ended up stealing my scholarship—and then my boyfriend. Now, instead of spending my fall semester abroad, I'm stuck here in Iowa, with zero funds and even less hope that I'll get to study abroad at all before I graduate this spring. Even worse? My mentor asked me to take on the impossible—tutoring arrogant running back Logan Ford and helping him finally pass Chem 101. I'm about to give up before I start. But then I get a crazy idea. What if I can get Logan to be my date for the winter science ball?

As a star senior on the Tiff U volleyball team, it's been my goal to come back strong after an injury that nearly took me out of the game. I'm Laney freaking Price, and I'm taking my shot to make it on the new pro women's team, despite the lack of support from my father. The problem? Cutter McCreary. He is the captain of the Tiff U hockey team, an all-around loveable guy, and a total player. Did I mention a complete thorn in my side since freshman year? Yeah… that guy. His charms don't tempt me. Until a mix-up with our housing situation forces us into a bit of a predicament.

Cash Ryatt is a distraction. It's no secret the bad boy race car driver has built a reputation from two things. Winning and fu-front-page headlines. I've read he's the best at both, but I have no intention of finding out firsthand. I have my own plans, and they don't include making the gossip sites as his next one-night stand. My three older brothers, his bosses, would never stand for it anyway. So, how did I find myself daydreaming about the one man I've been forbidden from dating? His mere proximity causes my heart to beat wildly in my chest.

Johnny Bishop crashed into my life like a hurricane. Not once, but twice. The first time, we were teenagers. He was the star quarterback destined to save our small town's high school team. I was the music nerd desperate to shine, but always falling short. Until him.

Dustin Bridge's world is about speed. About the edge. His life has been carved by cutting corners and making moves, following impulsive decisions while weighing the facts at hand. On the track, that has never steered him wrong. In life, though? That's another story. On the cusp of greatness, the world's up-and-coming racing star seems to be living the perfect story. A hero to his hometown. A partner to his best friend. A man poised to take the throne, to become the greatest, and to reap the rewards and attention that come along with it.

June Mabee is a lot of things. She's the girl next door. She's the best friend I ever had. She was my first kiss. And she's the last person I should have feelings for. Two years ago, I cut all ties with her because I had no choice. No more late-night phone calls, no hellos or goodbyes, not even a passing smile. I left her to wonder what happened to the us we used to be. We were best friends, and then suddenly . . . we weren't. And I know it hurt. But the truth would have hurt her more, and being anything with June would have destroyed my family.

"Was in Las Vegas passiert, bleibt in Las Vegas", heißt es. Für die, die hier leben, bleibt dieses ungeschriebene Gesetz allerdings nicht selten eine Illusion. Denn Geheimnisse kommen schneller ans Licht der "Sin City", als man denkt. Nach einem heißen One-Night-Stand glaubt Cleo Vanderbroek nicht daran, ihrem leidenschaftlichen Liebhaber jemals wiederzubegegnen. Doch das Schicksal hat andere Pläne. Als sie im Auftrag ihres Vaters die Konditionen des Sponsorenvertrags mit den Las Vegas Legends neu verhandeln soll, steht sie dem attraktiven Fremden unerwartet erneut gegenüber.

I've had a crush on my best friend, Alex Mendoza, for years, and I was finally going to tell him how I felt. But instead, I got cold feet. And now he thinks I'm interested in his teammate—my ex. Of course, being the good friend he is, Alex has offered to make my ex jealous. What's wrong with a little play flirting? Well, for starters, I'm not playing.
