Needing a break from her mother’s drama, Sara Lynch thought a two-week stay caring for a confidential client would be exactly the getaway she needed. Then she met her billionaire patient, football star Liam Thomas. Despite being easy on the eyes, he’s a monumental pain in the rear. But she’s dealt with far tougher than him and refuses to let some gridiron golden boy rattle her.

For the last year, Liam’s life has consisted of smothering caregivers and the painful recovery from an injury that nearly ended his career. He thought his sister leaving for her honeymoon would finally mean a little alone time—until the nurse she hired shows up to babysit him. Determined to brood in peace, he decides to be as difficult as possible in hopes of making the quick-witted nurse go away.

But when their banter morphs into a growing attraction, the pair finds themselves toying with thoughts of togetherness. Will they play it safe with harmless flirting? Or put their fears aside and risk the heartache that can come from a real connection?
