Defending the Backfield - LA Wolves, #5

GabeI'm living the high life as one of the best defensive backs in professional football. During a night out I lock eyes with the mysterious waitress at the bar, and I'm instantly drawn to her. So, when I'm inadvertently responsible for her losing her job, the defender in me does the first thing I can think of-I offer her a job and rent-free housing in my pool house. Falling in love with the woman of my dreams is just a perk.
When her past catches up to her, our relationship is put at risk. It's my job to defend the backfield, but will she let me defend her too? DanaeI'm on the run from my abusive ex and quickly running out of options when one chance encounter with hulking football player, Gabe Romero, results in an opportunity too good to turn down. With his offer comes safety and more money than I'd ever make slinging drinks at dingy dive bars.
The last thing I expected was to fall in love with him and experience a passion I never knew existed. But I should've known this kind of happiness could never last. When my ex finds me, I'm left with only two options: run and keep Gabe safe, or stay and fight for my happily ever after.  Defending the Backfield is a steamy football romance. It is book five in the LA Wolves series and can be read as a standalone.
