"Tight end," noun: 1. a position in American football, 2. NFL star Marcus James, 3. what any hot-blooded woman can't stop staring at every time Marcus walks by.Bree Novak is so close to earning her Ph.D. she can taste it, but she's supposed to be writing her dissertation, not giving lectures while her advisor slacks off. The semester gets even crazier when veteran tight end Marcus James-Bree's celebrity crush-enrolls in her "Intro to Physics" class. The man's even hotter in person than he looks on Sunday Night Football. So why is Bree hoping he drops out? Maybe it's because Marcus, with his cocky smile and chiseled body, is the ultimate distraction. . . .Drafted out of college years ago by the Milwaukee Dragons, Marcus is taking advantage of a season-ending knee injury to finish his bachelor's degree. Plus, thanks to a required science credit, he's also getting to know the geek goddess who teaches physics. With brains and beauty, Bree is living proof that opposites attract. She's even kind enough to give Marcus extra help with the material, as if she didn't have anything better to do. And the more time Marcus spends with her, the more he realizes he's not just crushing on his teacher-he's falling for her.

Is the Dragons' new wide receiver: A) a fallen NFL star looking for a comeback, B) the sexy player your boss wants you to write an exposéon, or C) the former love of your life? For Milwaukee Dragons beat reporter Natalie Griffith, he's clearly D) all of the above. Three years ago, Natalie's bombshell report on her ex-boyfriend's off-the-field scandals landed her the job she loves, but she still feels guilty about destroying his career. Now Quinn Lowry's back, and he's taking over her locker room, flashing his charming smile and reminding her exactly how hot they were together. After two years out of the league, Quinn is sober and on the field again. He's worked his ass off and he's not going to blow his second chance, not even for the woman who broke his heart-twice. Having Natalie around is the last thing Quinn needs while he's trying to prove he deserves to stay on the team. Maybe one final night together will give them both some much-needed closure. But with Natalie's boss pressuring her for another headline-grabbing scoop, can she admit to herself that she's falling for Quinn all over again? Previously published as Home Field Advantage.
