His best friend's sister was off limits. Her brother's best friend was out of her league... JACK CARTWRIGHT AND SAMANTHA GRIFFIN HAVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER-AND DENYING IT-SINCE THEY WERE 17. Jack's home was wherever his abusive father dragged him. Until his best friend Keith's family rescued him and gave him at a real future. What he didn't count on was falling in love with Keith's baby sister Samantha. Jack and Samantha forged individual lives, he as an NFL star, she as a print supermodel, keeping the passion they felt for each other hidden from the world. Until a family tragedy forces them together again-to face the feelings they've denied.
