Hayes Walker is screwed.
His body is giving out, his family is bleeding him dry, and he never prepared for life after football. When the Dallas Bulldogs offer him a coaching position instead of a returning roster spot, only two things keep him goingβstaying fit in case another football team picks him up, and spending time with a gray-faced Boxer at the Unlovabulls Dog Rescue.
Olive Russo is a woman who can walk through a kennel in a white pantsuit without getting a spot on her. The always organized PR pro will need her cool control when sheβs forced to plan a fundraising gala for the Unlovabulls with the college boyfriend who turned her inside out. A decade ago, Hayes Walker broke her heart and sent Olive into a spiral of bad decisions that sheβd rather her clients not know about. Now she is determined to keep the completely lickable Hayes off her to-do listβeven if their chemistry is stronger than ever.
Dumping Olive was the worst decision Hayes ever made. When the amazing girl walks back into his life a full-fledged woman, he makes a play for her heart. But when Oliveβs secrets are exposed and the NFL knocks on Hayesβs door, theyβll both need to leave their past where it belongs if theyβre going to make it work the second time around.



βPulling the curtain to the side, I watched as he fired a tennis ball the length of the room. βI thought you played defense. That looked like a quarterback threw it.β
βHuh, played being the operative word. And no, that didnβt look like a quarterback threw it, but you always were kind.β
Sadie dropped the ball at his feet. βDo you miss it?β
He picked it up and threw it again. βPlaying? Yes. What playing did to my body? Hell, no.β
I watched after Sadie as I stood next to Hayes. βI bet sheβd have made a great Frisbee dog, maybe even fly ball, when she was younger.β
βThey always say shit like that about us has-beens, donβt they, girl? Drop it.β He scratched her head, and Sadie spit out the ball. βIf only we were younger, if only our knees still had all their cartilage. If only time didnβt march on and forget about us.β He stared at the ball in his hands with a distance in his gaze. Sadie sat patiently, looking up at the man she so obviously loved with soft brown eyes and a face going white with age. These two needed each other.
Gently, I pulled the ball from Hayesβs hand and gave Sadie a scratch. Then I launched it across the room. She looked after it but didnβt go. βOh, Hayes. This little girl is sweet on you.β
That made the laugh lines appear around his eyes. βGo get it, sweetheart.β
Finally, she darted out after it.
βIβm sorry about football. I just want you to know that you are so much more than the game. Iβve always thought that.β Today couldnβt have been easy on him, at an event with players who used to be his teammates, but now he coached them.
Hayes nodded. βI mean, yeah. Iβm a football player. Iβll always be a football player. But itβs the way it got taken away from me, and the reason I even played so long in the first place.β He shook his head. βI loved playing. I wanted to play solely because I loved it, and I wanted to leave on my terms. That didnβt happen. Sometimes Iβm a little jealous of Brody for that.β
Sadie brought the ball back to me, but I noticed her starting to limp a little on her right hind leg. βAll done, sweetheart.β Breathing heavy, her black coat shined in the light as she circled and lay down next to Hayesβs leg. I studied his face. The lines etched into his forehead. The aching set of his jaw. This man was broken, but werenβt we all a little damaged?
Creating second chances for people was part of my jobβ¦β

Excerpt
Copyright 2022 @Kate McWilliams
I looked up at Samβs face. Concern was all over it, but something else was in his eyes. It was then that I realized just how close he was standing to me. My breasts were grazing his chest with each breath I took. For a minute, we just stared at each other. Hesitantly, I brought my free hand up to rest over Samβs heart. It was pounding deep within his ribs and each beat was like a drum I could feel vibrating everywhere.
Suddenly, his other hand was at my waist, fingers digging into my flesh enough to make me jump. Not out of fear. Right here, right now, I wasnβt scared. I needed him. I needed to feel him, to be felt by him. To forget everything else that was happening. I didnβt want to think about being alone or someone trying to hurt me. I wanted to live in this moment.
I released his hand and brought mine up to wrap around his neck. Our eyes didnβt move off of each other. He bent down slowly, grabbing onto my hip. His lips were so close to mine, I could feel his warm breath on my face as he opened them. What happened in a moment felt drawn out in slow motion. It was too slow for me. I lifted my head towards him, our lips only an inch away. And then, a riot.
His lips finally crashed down on mine and everything exploded. Our touch, our breath, the hot streaks of anticipation flashing through my body. I felt his hands grab me harder, hard enough to maybe leave a bruise and if I could have spared the brain cells to think about that, I would have found it sexy. But instead, I couldnβt think. Just feel. His lips were surprisingly soft, but the pressure was hard. He swooped his tongue into part my own lips and claim my mouth. My hands at the back of his neck now pulled at his hair, not to pull him away but to have something to hold onto in this frenzy.
