Ryker is in his final year of University and is the star quarterback and captain of the football team and is a player off the field as well. Every guy wants to be him, and every girl wants to be with him but there is one girl that he can’t stop thinking about but rather than her falling at his feet instead she manages to give as good as she gets every single time.

Penelope is quirky but oh so fun. Between school, two jobs, romance novels and her love for all things vampire she doesn’t have the time or inclination to get involved with the playboy quarterback as past has shown that athletes are not to be trusted. This is compounded by the fact that they have a history that he could hold against her.

Even though she knows the last thing she needs to do is get involved with Ryker that doesn’t tamper the chemistry between them. As they become friends she realizes there is much more to the man than she imagined and she starts thinking of what could be but will the secret between them destroy everything?

These two are perfect together. Ryker regrets what he has gotten himself into but doesn’t know how to get out without destroying the most important person to ever come into his life and while Penelope may come across as slightly nerdy she doesn’t back down from anything. Humorous banter and red hot chemistry will have you captivated until the last page.
