As goalie of the Texas Mutiny, Santos is damn good at protecting that net. But he never bothered to protect his marriage.  

Letting the fame and notoriety go to his head, he lost the things he loved the most… his wife and kids. Now he has one shot to make it right before losing at this relationship game and he’s determined not to miss this time.

Mariana has been scarred so deeply by Santos’s betrayals, she will carry the wounds forever. After almost ten years of marriage though, she knows him well, and she knows he won’t let go without a fight. Still, she refuses to be a push over.  

Because love is never enough…

Sales info:

This is a higher selling book than the second in the series and consistently has more page reads and more sales.

It was Top 1000 on Amazon when it released, and is pushing 200,000 page reads with about 1500 sales since it was released in February.  It also does very well in Audible, and again, there are probably more borrows on KU because it is whisper synced in Audible, but unfortunately, I don't get credit for those borrows.


Sample text:

There she is.

Looking at her, I can hardly breathe.  She’s beautiful.  Gorgeous, actually.  Long dark hair.  Shapely legs that go for miles.  Killer rack.

Much more glam than my “mom” bod.  I shouldn’t be so critical of myself.  I’ve had three kids in the last five years, and Theo is only a few months old.  But it’s hard looking at her, knowing I’ll never have that body again.  Is this why my husband strayed?

No.  I don’t know that for sure.  Maybe he really is just tying one on with the guys like he claims.

But I’ve heard the talk.  I know the rumors.  And she has the answers I need.  I just have to have the courage to ask for them.

Ringing my hands together, I take a deep breath and approach her.

“Hi.” 

Tiffany looks up at me with surprise.  Usually the only one to talk to her during the games is Quincy, the team captain’s girlfriend.  Everyone else steers clear.  Partly because Tiffany is a groupie—well, former groupie anyway.  Now that she and Rowen Flanigan are together, she’s officially become a WAG, which stands for “wives and girlfriends.” 

But people also don’t talk to her because, apparently, she’s a former soccer player herself.  She doesn’t treat games like social events.  Instead, she watches the games really closely and ignores everything going on around her.  So, I know she’s surprised I’m talking to her.

“Mind if I sit down?”

She looks around like she’s confused.  “Um, yeah.  Ok.”  She takes her feet off the chair in front of her and straightens her spine.
