 Zack Bradford's ego is so big that it can barely be contained in the stadium where he plays professional football. The quarterback previously named Rookie of the Year and deemed the Sexiest Man Alive is on top of the world. Or at least he was, until he gets hit by a scandal that could end his career. To keep his multi-million dollar contract with the family oriented Wildcats, Zack has to improve his playboy image, starting with settling down with one woman…and he must do so in less than a week's time!

Natalie Adair's life changed dramatically when she found out she had breast cancer at the young age of twenty-one. Deciding to dedicate her second chance at life helping others, Natalie accepts a job at one of the nation’s largest breast cancer foundations, devoting her time to helping other women find and treat cancer early on. The organization's most lucrative fundraiser every year is the auction of autographed team merchandise by pro football players, and this year Natalie's in charge of the event. Not only is it a great cause, but the event provides Natalie with the opportunity to get up close and personal with incredibly hot players, including the quarterback from college who swept her off her feet with a kiss of epic proportions. After her and Zack Bradford's kiss in their sophomore year, Natalie went right back to being invisible…that is, until their two paths cross again.

Zack can't believe his luck when a beautiful saint, one that actually works for a cancer charity for Christ’s sake, practically falls into his lap. She is just the woman he needs to save his job. The only problem? The tiny, feisty, and somewhat familiar blonde flat out turns him down. Zack welcomes the challenge of having to actually work to woo a woman for once, but he warns Natalie that once he decides he wants to play, he only plays to win.

Will Natalie be able to resist Zack's persistence and charisma, or will she overcome her insecurities and end up falling for the player?

"You didn't answer my question," Zack replies. Quickly moving his large body, he stands against my driver side car door, blocking my chance at a getaway. Good Lord the man is huge this close up. He's so damn buff it should be illegal to brandish such massive guns in public. Not to mention he has the perfect, gorgeous face of a male model and smells like a warm day at the beach. I try to focus on the Wildcats' logo on the center of his t-shirt instead of his distracting face...or...entire body. He's too damn incredible to take in and it's making my head hurt just trying.    "What question?" I ask. My mouth is so dry from practically panting with my tongue hanging out that it's hard to speak those two words. "Have dinner with me." A sudden burst of laughter escapes me, sounding embarrassingly similar to a girly giggle. I take a deep breath and close my eyes to try and get over the shock of those four words. It's also easier to think when I'm not looking at him. "That wasn't a question. It was a statement.""Fine. Will you have dinner with me?" he amends. I gasp and my eyes fly open when one of his thick knuckles suddenly begins stroking its way up my neck until it's underneath my chin. Tipping it up I'm forced to look into his warm, brown eyes. His deep voice lowers when he says, "Or we could just go to my place and you could be dinner."Oh God. My knees feel wobbly like they're going to pull a fast one and embarrass me in front of Zack freaking Bradford, sending me down on my ass. Use your brain, woman! He only wants to screw you, and basically just says as much!   I blink to break contact with his hypnotic gaze and take a step backwards so that his hand will fall away. "No, thanks. Hope you have a great season," I squeak out as I try to figure out a way to maneuver around his humongous body. "No?" He jerks back against my car like I tasered him, using a word he's never heard before. Probably hasn't, which makes me even more confident in my response. And great, now there's probably a giant quarterback size dent in the side of my car. "No. I decline. The opposite of yes. Could you please move now?" I ask with my hands on my hips while my cheeks begin to feel sunburnt. "I'm unfamiliar with such a foreign concept. What exactly is this 'no' you speak of?" he deadpans.   That stupid girly giggle slips out again before I can respond. "Google it." When the man still doesn't move I grumble and walk around to the passenger side. I'm sliding in and over the console to the driver seat before he realizes what I'm up to and yanks the driver's side door open. Shoot, I should've locked them after I got in. "Are you seriously running away from me?" Zack asks with a deep chuckle, lowering to his haunches to get eye level. Oh and that just isn't fair. Don't look at his face! Don't look at his face!    I put the key in the ignition, crank my car in response, and then reach for my seat belt.          "Fine, go ahead and drive your very sexy ass out of here, Polly Pocket, but I'm not giving up on you."

I can't help but feel a little giddy that he's showed an interest in me, even if he does have less than honorable intentions, and doesn't remember me from college. It's nice to feel wanted by a gorgeous man like him. But regardless, I'm not going to become a notch on his mile long belt. "Honestly, Zack, I really appreciate that you've gone to all this trouble for me, but I don't date, and I definitely don't sleep with men. Neither of those things are going to change just because you're…well, you," I tell him, gesturing at his obvious hotness."Well, that's too bad," he says with a sigh. "But if you want the calendar that could help raise a ton of money for a cause that's important to you, then you're going to have to take one for the team." "W-what? What do you mean?" I ask.He leans forward, his strong, muscular forearms resting on the edge of my desk. "I mean, the other players and I will do the calendar, but only if you agree to go out with me." "You can't be serious.""Oh, I am very serious.""Why?" I ask."Why am I serious?" "No, why me?" I ask, helpless to stop the heat from spreading over my cheeks. "You want the list?" he asks. "There's a list?" "Yep," he nods, his intense chocolate eyes never leaving mine. "You're beautiful, smart, sweet, sassy, and sexy as hell. Is that enough?"I want to crawl under my desk after hearing his flattering words. "But you don’t know me, and even if all that were true, you...you date women who are a helluva lot more…well, everything than me." "I have dated a lot of beautiful women." He nods in agreement. "And those women, with the exception of one, were all shallow, selfish, spoiled, clingy, and my personal favorite, gold-diggers.""Oh." He said all but one. Does that mean he cared about her? I remember seeing something in the tabloids a few months ago about his breakup with a girlfriend."Even though we just met yesterday, I'm willing to bet that you're none of the above. You're also the only woman that's ever turned me down.""So you just like a challenge?" I ask, deflating as I think of the old saying that you always want what you can't have.  "It's nice to have a challenge," he says with a shrug of his wide shoulders, his eyes holding mine. "But, Natalie, when I decide I want to play, I go all in and play to win. And I can promise you this - I want to win you over for more than just one night."
