Book excerpt: Harley Brennan and Shyla Hollings part company to follow their careers. The star running back has no problem getting dates, but never the right dates. After one year trying to replace the only woman he’d ever loved, he declares defeat. Until the reality TV show, Marriage Minded, approaches him. After the Super Bowl, Harley flies to L.A. to find his new soul mate. Bumping into Shyla at the airport doesn’t give him a clue she’s designing the sets for the program. Was Fate playing a hand, bringing them together? If so, Fate has lousy timing. Convinced his life is heading for a touchdown, Harley’s confidence is high, until his luck runs out. Will the running back get knocked out of the game or sprint to victory? A unique combination of reality TV show surprises, football action, humor, and steamy love scenes, HARLEY BRENNAN, RUNNING BACK, keeps you guessing until the very last scene.
