Paperback. Condizione: Good. A gruff, divorced NFL coach meets his match in an equally grumpy, commitment-phobic neighbor in this warm-hearted and witty romance about family, second chances, and overcoming the past. You'd think it was the perfect setup: living next door to the grumpy single dad who needs my help with his troublemaking kids--just until football season is over. Swoony stuff, right? You know who's not swooning? Me. I'm as grumpy as he is, and I'm fairly certain that for NFL Coach Barrett King, it was hate at first sight. It's nothing I'll lose sleep over because 1) the feeling is mutual, and 2) I'm not a people person. Just me and my dog, Larry, moving around when the mood strikes, is what I prefer. Except I start getting attached. First to the kids. Then to their father. I don't know why. He's overbearing. His attempts at flirting are just growls and glares. But if I ever see that man smile.well, I might tear all his clothes off. I don't do forever. And Barrett--serious, thoughtful, sexier than he has any right to be--doesn't do short term. We're headed straight for disaster. But if we're willing to take a risk, maybe this story won't end in heartbreak. Maybe what started as the perfect setup for two imperfect people just might end in love.…
