A Bad Boy Sports Romance
They hired her to keep me out of jail. Now she’s carrying my baby…
Roman Knight. You know the name. You know the reputation… on and off the field. There’s not a pass I can’t complete or a woman I can’t charm. I’m the highest paid quarterback in the league. But I’m one bar fight away from jail. Now my people have hired some lawyer to try to control me. Yeah, right. I know she’s going to last about as long as all my other lawyers.
Right up until I meet her.
As soon as I lay eyes on Willow, I know I have to have her… in my bed and in my life. I always get what I want, and this time, I end up with a little more than planned. Willow is pregnant… and if that’s not shocking enough, a late night incident results in a murder charge being thrown my way. I’m left with a choice – rat on an old friend or go to jail.
If I want a real life, and a family… I’m going to have to fight for it.~*~ London Casey is the pen name for bestselling romance author Karolyn James.

I received an ARC for an honest review. This is an enchanting, well written story about Roman, a professional football quarterback playing for the Dragons. Although Roman is the highest paid quarterback in the league, he is also the league’s biggest problem. Roman continually gets into trouble and his handlers and the football commissioner worry about all the bad press he is receiving. Roman is cocky and arrogant. He lives his life by his rules and having fun is his first rule and he doesn’t care what people think.
Willow is a young, smart attorney working hard and trying to be successful. She has a lot of spunk and isn’t afraid to speak her mind. When she loses a case her bosses assign her to babysit Roman to make sure he stays out of trouble and out of the press. Willow doesn’t know anything about football or Roman, but she is a quick study. Willow is instantly attracted to Roman’s hard, sexy body and his good looks, but she tries to keep their relationship on a professional level, as Roman tries to seduce her.
Once Roman meets Willow, he can’t stop thinking about her. His life has always been filled with one night stands and Willow scares him, because for the first time in his life, he wants more.
From the outside it looks like Roman has it all fame, money, along with a great football career, but he also has demons. Roman stole my heart; he comes from a dysfunctional family and has never learned how to love. Yes, he can be a jerk, but he also has good qualities. He has a big heart and he is protective of those he cares about. He is a good guy hiding behind his bad boy reputation.
I loved the author’s voice and Roman and Willow have a lot of chemistry. I am also looking forward to reading future stories about Roman’s two brothers Caine and Slade.
