Light Up the Night


Weston Parker - 2018
    That’s what they call me. I rush into burning building to save lives, and I wish it was for a just cause. It’s not. It’s to prove that I’m worthy of love. A messed-up knee, and my dreams of being in the NFL are gone. I’m fearless when it comes to fighting back death. That’s not what f*cks me up. It’s living that gets me. The last thing I need in my life is a woman, no matter how bad I want one. And yet, this one has me pacing the floor. The single mom who owns my crew’s favorite restaurant is sweet, loving, and hot as hell. It’s not that easy, though. She’s lost too much in her life to give out free chances to men like me. But I’m not asking for a chance. I’m taking it. Every Good Girl Deserves a Bad Boy. ~ Weston
