Settle the Score - Nicki Edwards - Bog

Should you keep score when it comes to love?As an adopted only child, Annabel Norton, has always wanted children of her own. Having recently retired from playing semi-professional football for the AFLW, now would be the perfect time-except she's still reeling from the failure of her last relationship.Special Operations Group police officer, Ben Naylor, loves the idea of a family, but with two marriages under his belt, he figures commitment isn't for a man like him. Especially as he needs time to process all he's lived through in his job. That's why it makes no sense that he falls head over heels for Annabel the very first time he sees her. He does the right thing and keeps his distance...and then she moves in next door.As their feelings become impossible to deny, Annabel starts to think that they might be made for each other. That is until she learns about an unexpected secret in Ben's past. For a chance at happiness, can she open her heart and accept that a future with Ben could involve more than children of her own?
