BLURB
I watched him play football from the stands and saw the cocky persona he puts on for the crowd.
He's my BF's cousin and over the years noticed me grow into a woman.
One night I succumbed to his charm. Took the risk because it was the night before my flight to travel the world. I would be gone for two years, thought it would mean nothing.
Stupidly, I almost gave him my heart.
In a moment of panic, I fled and tried to forget him.
Now I'm back and ready to move on with my life.
Running into Hunter Stone on my first night out wasn't part of the plan.
His eyes tell me he hasn't forgotten.
My gut tells me I'm going to regret it...
Winning the Player is a standalone read and Book 1 of The Bay Series.
