The Coach's Daughter Is Off Limits
“Maria is done with the cocky athletes. She's ready to move on after the cheating scandal that happened a year ago with her ex. She matches on a dating app with a hot nerd who abandons her mid-date only to find out that the 'nerd' in question is her father's top prospect. Quarterback, Emerson Falls, and he'd be housing with them for the foreseeable future. Maria immediately hates his guts. Emerson wants to get into the league. After a scandalous video hits the internet, his image needs fixing and he needs the help of the woman who hates him the most, the Coach's daughter and journalism prodigy, Maria Ricardo. Now, he has to confide in her and eventually tell her his most darkest secrets. Is love possible or is the Coach's daughter still off limits? *** "Maria," he begins, swallowing. "I've never begged you for anything in my life, but this one time." He pauses. "I need you. So if you would just put your pride aside and let's get this done so that we can both be out of each other's hair." I stand there, speechless as I stare at him. My legs are putty they could give out any minute. I didn't believe he'd actually beg. Wow. I blink. Since the date, I've had one question. "Before I think about this, I'll like to ask you a question and I'll like you to promise to answer it with all honesty." I demand and he nods. "I promise." "That night on the date. Why were you out as Jasper and not Emerson?"”
