It's going to take all of Max's quick thinking, fast talking and sheer determination to win the account, save Joe's company-and keep their budding relationship from becoming a casualty of corporate warfare.

Miami star quarterback Jordan Barr is the hottest man that halfback Eric "The Brick" Higgins has ever laid eyes on, and he's wanted him in his bed for years.
When a chance encounter puts the two pro football players in the same town, the same TV studio, and the same locked room, the sparks don't just fly, they burn.
