From The Publisher:

The first time I met Brody Easton was in the men's locker room.

It was my first interview as a professional sportscaster.

The famed quarterback decided to bare all.

And by all, I don't mean he told me any of his secrets.

No. The arrogant ass decided to drop his towel, just as I asked the first question. On camera.

The Super Bowl MVP quickly adopted a new hobby-screwing with me.

When I pushed back, he shifted from wanting to screw with me, to wanting to screw me.

But I don't date players.

And it's not because I'm one of the few women working in the world of professional football.

I'd date an athlete.

It's the other kind of player I don't date.

You know the type. Good looking, strong, cocky, always looking to get laid.

Brody Easton was the ultimate player.

Every woman wanted to be the one to change him.

But the truth was, all he needed was a girl worth changing for.

Turned out, I was that girl.

Simple right?

Let's face it. It never is.

There's a story between once upon a time and happily ever after...

And this one is ours.
