He's a football god. She's the daughter of a Texas senator. Their chemistry is like oil and water. My name is Ryker James. I hate when people tell me what to do. I'm cocky, ornery, and I take things when I want them. Caring isn't in my vocabulary unless it's related to football or my family, and I just lost my entire family in a blink of an eye. Now all I have is football. The problem is the misery, the drinking, and the parties have more appeal to me. But Lakemont University wants that championship. Fans want to see wins on the scoreboard, and my teammates salivate to crush our opponents every game. Yet, the only pass I might be throwing is at the auburn-haired girl who waltzes into my life. She's fire. I'm ice. A combination that doesn't work. So let the games begin. My name is Haven Hale, and I'd been tucked away in a boarding school most of my life. Now, I'm a big-time college girl. All I see is freedom in front of me. But first, I have to agree to my father's demands--no media attention and no sororities. If I can follow those two edicts, then college life should be a breeze. Until one close encounter with Ryker James, and Father Dearest has changed the game. Stay away from the big, bad quarterback, or face my father's wrath. There's only one problem. I can't help who I'm attracted to. And Ryker James is a magnet, built to attract any female, constructed to make any girl's heart sputter, and my heart is beating off the charts. So, it's time to choose between the devil I know and the one I don't.
