arter Maxwell knows he's a screwup. Four teams in three seasons tells the story, as much as he wishes it didn't. But finally, he's landed in a good place, where he likes the team and the team actually likes him. Even the Condors' current rebuilding mode suits him. There's a new owner. New coach. New players. New rules. But one rule hasn't changed: don't seduce your agent-appointed c*ckblocker. Ian Parker agrees to live with Carter and keep him on the straight and narrow for one simple reason: Alec, the agent in charge of cleaning up Carter's reputation, has promised him something Ian wants very, very badly. Even more badly than Carter naked above him and below him and next to him. A chance for Ian to become an agent. But Ian didn't take into account just how persuasive Carter is-or just how desperately he desires to be persuaded. Or how, while spending time with Carter, they'll somehow stumble into a fake relationship that begins to feel all too real. It doesn't matter that Carter's never fallen in love or that he's never been in a real relationship. It doesn't matter that Ian's risking his future as an agent. He's determined to score the impossible and reform the bad boy-only after encouraging Carter to misbehave one last time. But this time, only with him.
