The Defender

Can the football player be the one his best friend's sister needs?VeronicaMy ex-husband was a controlling and abusive piece of.... You get the point. I was lucky I escaped with my daughter, Joselyn, vowing she'll never experience the kind of life he gave. Now that I'm free, I only see one man - my brother's best friend. But he wouldn't notice me if I bent over in front of him with my ass in the air.
I should know, I tried it. DevinI play offense, ironic, really, because I'd die defending my best friend's sister and her little girl. But that's all I can do because I'm not good enough for the two of them as anything more, no matter how much I want that. My biological father has spent his life in and out of prison, and my mom was killed when I was a teen. Veronica is finally free, but she doesn't need that kind of baggage.
But when Veronica's ex comes around, maybe my kind of baggage is just what she needs. I'll destroy myself defending them.
