I’ve been tackled by defensive linemen twice my size and sprinted into end zones with thousands of fans screaming my name, but nothing—and I mean nothing—could’ve prepared me for Blakely.I should have known from the first time we met that she’d change everything for me. How could she not? A woman bold enough to break into my house and attempt to steal from me isn’t exactly someone you forget and move on from.So, when I’m asked, or told, to find a wife, I know it has to be her.That’s supposed to be all it is. She needs somewhere to live, and I need the headlines. But what starts as a simple arrangement quickly becomes something far more complicated. Blakely is guarded, unpredictable, and protective of those she loves. The more time I spend with her, the more I realize this isn’t about my career anymore.With just two months on the clock, can I break down her walls before she breaks my heart?
