The second book of the series follows Elizabeth (Liz) and Gavin post Liz's firing by Gavin's brother Mick and her kissing Gavin. Liz is also Gavin's agent and has been in love with him for years, but plays ruthless in the male-dominated sports world.

During preseason, Gavin is reeling from the kiss and decides to ask Liz to stay with him at his home. They start a friends with benefits type relationship. They start the develop into more a relationship as they start talking about things outside of work. The problem? Liz is scared to share her feelings, Gavin is unsure if he's ready for something serious, and Mick is still holding a grudge and is protective of his brother.

Great story about redemption and being able to open yourself up to love and happiness. Reading the first book in the series, I knew it was going to be a good mix of plot and spice.
