I’ve worked my a** off for years to get where I am. And I’m not about to let douchebag extraordinaire Jake Ryland screw it up for me. I’m this close to a huge promotion at the foundation I work for. It’s so close I can taste it – until the cocky, uncontrollable quarterback for the Springville Rockets comes crashing into my life. My entire future depends on keeping Jake on the straight and narrow, and keeping my brain in the driver’s seat. But Jake Ryland makes me want to lose control.

I just moved to Springville to start my first season as wide receiver for the Rockets. As luck would have it, the condo I’m renting is right next door to a straight-laced grad student who hardly ever pulls her nose out of a book. Ivy Kincaide. I’m pretty sure our first meeting was a hell of a lot more fun for me than it was for her. And ever since then, she looks at me like she wishes I’d spontaneously combust in front of her eyes. I get more than enough of female attention. I know I should just ignore her. But there’s something about Ivy – and not just her smoking hot body. It’s like I’m eight years old and wanna pull her pigtails just to see her stomp her feet at me. She’s wound up tighter than a rubber band. But the way her ass shimmies when she stalks away from me tells me there’s a completely different girl underneath. And nothing’s gonna stop me from finding out. ZONE BLITZ
