After I walked out on her six long years ago, I became the bad boy baller every man wants to be. So why do I miss her so much? Renata I was valedictorian of my senior class, got a full scholarship to the best football school in California, and I’m the best damn sports agent in the state. I’ve always gotten what I want. But all of my victories don’t mean much without the man who promised he’d always be by my side. The thought of losing Mack has haunted me every day. But to be forced to work with the one who broke my heart and crushed my dreams… it's a special kind of torture. If only I can stay away from his chiseled body and his piercing blue eyes, I might have a chance to avoid another broken heart. Macklin I’ve got swagger. I walk into a room and everyone knows who I am—the most valuable linebacker in the NFL. I work hard, play harder, and f*ck like nobody’s business. My manager says I need to change my image, or I might be out of a job. That’s not how Mack Pride rolls. There’s only one sports agent I ever listened to… and she doesn’t want anything to do with me. I didn't expect to see her again. Those luscious curves, that skeptical smirk on her gorgeous face. I never should have let her go. Never. And even if she has a public relations plan for me to marry someone else… Hell no. Renata’s the only woman who ever made Mack Pride want to settle down. And now that she’s back, I’m not letting her go until she’s mine. Forever.
