Saving the Shortstop (The Good Girls of NE University, #3)

As the daughter of a retired NFL player, college softball's number-one-ranked shortstop, and someone usually considered an all-around good time, I've never had an issue getting attention.

But getting the attention of the person I most want it from?

Now that's a different story.

When Dallas Rivers, my brother's best friend who also happens to be one of my dad's players on the NEU football team, is struggling in school,

I find myself volun-told to help. I should be thrilled with this arrangement. After all, I'm in school to become a teacher.

Except, I've always made it a point to keep a respectable distance from him.

Because the one person whose attention I've always longed for?

Yep, you guessed it ... it's Dallas Rivers.

Against my better judgement, I agree to help him out, telling myself I need to keep it strictly professional and not blur any lines.

Everything seems to be going smoothly, but the closer we get, the more my ex-boyfriend seems to pop up out of nowhere, and suddenly, the only time I truly feel safe is when Dallas is close by.

And the more I learn about him, the more I begin to realize that he's been keeping me safe for a whole lot longer than I ever knew.

Though Dallas fights it, eventually, the attraction between us is indisputable, and he gives into the pull. But after wanting him for so long, I know that it's too good to be true. The universe is about to throw me a major curveball—I'm sure of it.

I just didn't know that when it did, Dallas would be the one to pull me out of harm's way.
