Catching Summer : A Second Chances Novel

Hailed by Heidi McLaughlin as a bestselling author who ?knows how to create the men who make us swoon,? L. P. Dover returns with an edgy, emotionally gripping Second Chances novel about a beautiful widow who can?t resist a chiseled NFL player.   Former nurse Summer Jacobs has seen her fair share of suffering, but she never expected tragedy to hit so close to home. After watching her husband die in the MMA ring, Summer spends the next two years fighting her way through the darkness. The last thing she needs is another hardheaded athlete turning her life upside down. But that?s exactly what happens when she meets a gridiron star who?s as skilled at stealing hearts as he is at snagging passes.   Carolina Cougars wide receiver Evan Townsend usually has no problem winning fans, so he?s intrigued when Summer shoots down his go-to plays for winning a woman?s attention. Never one to back down from a challenge, Evan turns up the heat, setting off sparks that neither can deny. But as his slow seduction begins to chase away Summer?s pain, he gets the feeling that someone is desperate to keep them apart. Now Evan will do anything to protect her?because he never misses a chance to make a perfect catch.Don?t miss any of New York Times bestselling author L. P.
