Under such crushing pressure, there’s no room for error in my bid to reach the NFL and help support my large family.With stakes this high, who can afford distractions?

If being her pretend boyfriend helps keep the idiot guys on her team off her back and the cleat chasers off mine, it’s a price I’m willing to pay.Nothing is real. We’re only pretending. Everything’s a game. So why does she suddenly matter to me? less

With every penny of my savings on the line, living on the property doesn’t even feel like a hardship so much as a necessity. I expected lots of late nights when I bought this place. What I didn’t expect was a new employee that I can’t keep my mind off of no matter how hard I try. As a single mom, Kiersten Willoughby’s sole focus is on providing for her son. Yet another reason to keep my hands off of her and stay focused on my goals. She doesn’t need the distractions that come with a new relationship any more than I do. But it feels almost impossible to stay away, especially when she takes her breaks moving on the dance floor, like she knows seeing her sway is my kryptonite. Still, I’m determined to stay away because complications mean failure, and that is not an option. Success if the only thing good enough for both of us. Nothing else matters. less
