I'm Kambry Rivers, famous for . . . holding onto my V-card? Ha! Just kidding. Okay, maybe I'm not. I have to find humor in my current predicament, otherwise, I'd cry. My parents would be so ashamed. The very thing I hated holding onto put money in my bank account. Ironic, isn't it? I've been a lot of things in such a short time. Alabama good girl, yes. Runaway, again, yes. Virgin, well, not anymore. Porn star . . . I'm still letting that sink in. Eh, adult film star sounds classier. In my head, it makes a difference.It all started with a guy. Doesn't it always? There I was, working in the VIP section of the nightclub and he ended up at my table. Rule number one: serve them like VIP while pretending they're ordinary people. Yeah, okay. Try telling that to a shy girl. He was cute. I didn't notice. At least that's what I kept telling myself. He couldn't be too famous if I didn't recognize him, right? The most dangerous predator moves under the radar. Shark. They find amusement in the weak. His teeth were in me before I saw him coming. Or maybe it was a tongue . . . Okay, so, maybe he was a lot hotter than I remembered. And funny. And interesting. And, it gave me a rush, okay? I wasn't used to so much freedom. Before I knew it, I had signed my name to a legally-binding document and found myself with a new roommate. And maybe it stated somewhere that we were supposed to have sex with hidden cameras in the room. Just pretend they're not there. How easily he could make me forget . . . We only live once, right?I was never paid to fall in love. Or raised to like having sex with my well-known porn star boyfriend for anyone with a readily available internet connection to watch. Whoops. Now we wait for our next instruction. New York here we come. He may have wanted a virgin. He got so much more.

A bad-boy NFL star meets his match in a feisty single mom with this sweet, steamy, and emotional novel about second chances and breaking the rules of romance. Raising my ten-year-old son, running an animal rescue, and caring for my grandfather leaves zero time for complications, let alone cocky athletes who get under my skin. Too bad the universe didn't get the memo. Because a big complication just crashed into my life--literally--in the form of towering NFL quarterback Archer Evans, sentenced to community service at my shelter after a scandal. Despite his mistakes, I try not to judge. He's got demons of his own, and even though he's made it perfectly clear he wants me, the last thing he needs is a wary single mom seeing the vulnerable man beneath the muscles and the attitude. Though I'll admit, I'm tempted to look. Not that I'd cave. With his notoriety, Archer would never make it past date two of my eight-date rule. I want simple. Safe. He's too successful. Too arrogant. Too everything. The definition of complicated. But as the walls around Archer start to crumble, so do mine. And this complication feels suspiciously like love. I made the rules. Maybe it's time I broke them.

I'm known for being an asshole. It suits me. I'm that guy who jokes about love and how settling down is overrated. Why would a guy ever fall for one woman when he can have as many as you want? Makes no sense to me.But if being a cop has taught me anything, it's that life is unpredictable. And that is exactly what Katherine is. I question my sanity on a daily basis because of that woman. Sometimes, she makes me want to keep her to myself, and other times, she makes me want to jump off a cliff just to get away from her.Yet, I still find myself turning into that little pussy I said I'd never be. Showing up at her front door holding flowers, only to have her throw them at me. Calling just to say hello, only for her to press ignore. Yeah, I've become a pussy all right. A whipped one, at that. At first she was a challenge, but now I don't like the fact that she is playing hard to get. But when someone comes after me, threatens my job, my life-it's her who stands by my side. It's her who has to pay for my sins, and it's her who I'm threatened to lose. One thing that you need to know about me is that I'll fight for what I believe in. And I believe in her more than myself.What's that saying? Boy meets girl and the rest is history...Well, those who fuck with what is mine will become history. Welcome to my world. The world of Parker O'Hare
