Wicked Love

6,A sexy, small town, grumpy sunshine, single dad, sports romance from USA Today Bestselling Author Willow AsterI fell in love with his little girl first.From the moment nine-year-old Becca Fox and I hugged, it was like we'd known each other forever. Precocious, sweet, and kind, I just knew this little girl was exceptional. Her dad, though? Not so much. Bowie Fox checks every box in the looks department-rugged, intense, and the kind of man who makes you forget how to breathe-but his personality? About as warm as a snowstorm. That is, until we're seated together at his best friend's wedding, and then...we dance.For hours.Beneath that gruff and hard exterior, I catch glimpses of a man who wants to let loose and enjoy life.After the wedding, when a hotel mixup leaves me without a room and stranded in Landmark Mountain, Bowie invites me to stay in his room. In his bed. It's innocent at first. Until it's not. A sizzling one-night stand for the books. Then I wake up alone and when I see him at breakfast, he is as distant as ever. Bowie lets me know his life revolves around Becca, his teammates, and football. He makes it perfectly clear that there is no room for anyone else-especially the bubbly coach of his daughter. As much as our paths keep crossing, I know the broody linebacker isn't ever planning on falling for me, but when I find out I am pregnant-I wonder, Can he fall for us?
