I wasn't looking to fall in love. The love of my life was football until that night. But the first time I met Governor Hudson Gatlin, I couldn’t tear my eyes away.

After one conversation and a soaked shirt, I wanted my hands all over him. And by the way he was looking at me, he just might want that too. It didn’t matter that he was straight, or a widower with two kids. My heart wants what it wants, and that's him. Even if we could only be friends.

Hard Count is a bi-awakening, romantic long-distance love affair about finding the one against unsurmountable odds. It is book one in the San Diego Storm sports romance series.
