Blurb/Synopsis:
Professional football player Hunter Davis
is learning that saying he’s gay is very different from actively being in a
relationship with another man—especially in the eyes of his teammates and fans.
So when Hunter needs a personal assistant to keep him organized, he asks for a
woman to prevent tongues from wagging.
Montgomery Willis badly needs to find work
before he loses everything. There’s just one position at the agency where he
applies, but the problem is, he’s not a woman. And he knows nothing about
football. Still, Hunter gives him a chance, but only because Monty’s desperate.
Monty soon proves his worth by saving
Hunter’s bacon on an important promotional shoot, and Hunter realizes he might
have someone special working for him—in more ways than one. Monty’s feelings
come to the surface during an outing in the park when Hunter decides to teach
Monty a bit about the game, and pictures surface of them in some questionable
positions. Hunter is reminded that knowing he’s gay and seeing evidence in the
papers is very different for the other players, and he might have to choose
between two loves: football and Monty.

Excerpt:
“So you’d change me,” Hunter said.
“No. I’m saying I’d work with you to bring out your style.”
“Okay.” Hunter clearly wasn’t buying it. “Do you cook?”
“Yeah.”
“What kind of food?” Hunter demanded.
“What do you like? I made fettuccine carbonara last night for dinner,
I make killer pork chops, and I’ve been told my chicken wings are to die for. But I bake them so
they don’t have all the fat. I make a mean cheesecake and cupcakes too.”
“What about vegan?”
“Are you vegan?” He somehow doubted it, as big as Hunter was.
“God, no.”
“Then why ask? I’ll cook all the meat your football heart desires if you’ll give me a chance.” He thought he might have earned a few points.
“What about cleaning?”
“I’m not a maid. I’m your assistant. If you want me to find you a cleaning service, I
can certainly do that.”
“Okay. That’s great, but you don’t know football. Do you have any idea when preseason starts?” Monty shook his head. “Practice schedules? Do you
have any idea about the demands on my time once practice starts? How about
conditioning. Do you run?”
“Yeah. That I can do. Where do you need me to go for you?” Monty realized he’d misunderstood as soon as he saw the sneer.
“I mean run as in exercise.”
“Oh. I used to run in school,” Monty
answered. “Look, I may not be the kind of person you’re
looking for, but I’ll do my very best for you if you’ll give
me a chance.” He was still trying to figure out what Hunter was looking for.
Hunter sighed. “Fine, I’ll give you a chance. I need you to put together my schedule for me.
You can call Helen to get the things from my agent. You’ll also
need to contact my publicist as well as the coach’s office
and the team office. I also have a bunch of laundry upstairs that will need to
be taken care of, and I have a team meeting sometime this week. Oh, and I have
a lunch this afternoon, but I can’t remember what time or
with who. It’s just some vague memory. So find out for me. I need a cleaning
service, so get on that, and I’ll need someone to open the pool and clean the hot tub. It’s smelling funky.”
Monty had grabbed a notebook in his bag and
scribbled things down as Hunter had rattled them off.
