Synopsis
A year ago, Jackson Burke was
married to the love of his life and playing quarterback for the Texas Redhawks.
Now he's retired, courtesy of the car accident that ruined his career—and
single, after a nasty scandal torpedoed his marriage. Just as he's starting to
get used to his new life as a health and fitness columnist for Oxford magazine, his unpredictable ex shows up on his
doorstep in Manhattan. Jackson should be thrilled. But he can't stop thinking
about the one person who's always been there for him, the one girl he could
never have: her younger sister.
Mollie
Carrington can't say no to Madison. After all, her older sister practically
raised her. So when Madison begs for help in winning her ex-husband back,
Mollie's just glad she got over her own crush on Jackson ages ago—or so she
thought. Because as Mollie reconnects with Jackson, she quickly forgets all her
reasons to stay loyal to her sister. Tempted by Jackson's mellow drawl and
cowboy good looks, Mollie is sick and tired of coming in second place. But she
can't win if she doesn't play the game.
