A down on his luck ex-football star (Griff) is released from prision. He served 5 years after being caught taking bribes to throw some games. This was an attempt to pay off his gambling debts.

He's hired by the CEO of an airline company (confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life)and his young wife for stud service. They want to have a baby, but want it conceived the conventional way, and picked the ex-quarterback because of his athletic ability, his remarkable physical attributes and some of his gene characteristics are similiar to those of the CEO's. In order to get the megabucks for doing this, it must be kept from the media. The only problem is that there's a dirty cop that's trying to settle an old score with Griff. The cop is doing everything in his power to make his life miserable. And, furthermore, Griff falls in love with the CEO's wife. And, on top of that, the CEO winds up dead. A love triangle gone wrong?

What I particularly liked about this book is that only a little bit of the past (football stuff) was mentioned. It didn't get carried away with the details. So, it's a romance that us gals can appreciate. And, at times, it sizzles!

Pick it up and try it out. I thought is was a really good book and gave it FIVE stars.
