Since meeting her in the bar after her sister's wedding, he's known there's something between them. After she refuses--again and again--to go out with him, Matt will do anything to win her heart ...

Places in My Heart
by Sheryl Lister
Omar Drummond is a pro football superstar with a body that's a pure work of art. But Morgan Gray is forbidden to act on their chemistry, or repeat their impulsive kiss. Proving her worth as a sports agent means securing the notorious celebrity as a client, not a lover. Yet between flowers, sweet notes, and heady hotel interludes, Omar is shamelessly seducing her. Other agents--and exes--have tried using Omar as a meal ticket, and he's closed himself off from emotional entanglements. With Morgan, it's a whole new playbook. Smart and tough, she can negotiate a contract and turn him on all in one go, and he craves more. But in matters of trust, he's just fumbled badly. To win her he has to show her the man he can be away from the pitch and the limelight, and hope that this time they're both playing for keeps.

But under the circumstances, Carri and Josh would rather go on fake dates to appease their mothers than rock the boat. Yet the more time these two work together on their little lie, the more they see the surprising truth . . .
