Double Score

“And now we’re married and you’ve never been more adorable getting this baby’s room ready.”
“Adorable?” Dylan looked at Isaac. “Did she just call me adorable?”
I giggled harder.
“I think she did, brother.”
“Please, stop. It hurts to laugh this much.”
Dylan strolled across the nursery, planting a kiss on my lips. “I love you, darlin’.”
“I love you too.”
Isaac’s eyes popped. “Shit. Did you feel that?”
I smiled. “He’s missing out.”
“I want to feel him kick.” Dylan dropped to his knees.
I thought I would die from happiness. I had everything I ever wanted. The two loves of my life who adored and worshipped me. A healthy baby on the way. I had found my way in a haze of confusion and sadness because of them. They brought me into clarity. Into light.
They gave me a family. And for the rest of my life I would always have double the joy and double the love. My happily ever after was twice what I could ever have imagined.
Shh…another secret from Vanessa…You didn’t think she was finished with the secrets did you? She gives you the inside scoop on what happened on the honeymoon. Keep reading to get to the **deleted scene.**

Y’all, I don’t even know where to being with this story. First, I have to say thank you to Nicole for joining me on this journey. And wow, did she bring the heat to some of those scenes! I needed a fan when we were editing. So, thank you, Nicole! You sure know how to set the pages on fire.
My readers know by now I LOVE football players. I’ve had so much fun writing about them, and the idea for this book came to me when I couldn’t decide between which character to pursue for Vanessa. And after talking to Nicole, I realized we shouldn’t have to choose—we could have both! Win-win! Right?
This book really took me out of my comfort zone (cough, cough), but sometimes we need art to push up to expand our creativity. And what’s better than a little fantasy with two super hot sweet and dirty on the side guys?
Thank you so much for reading! I have a special treat for you. There’s a deleted scene from the HONEYMOON! OMG—you’re going to need another fan. Keep reading until the VERY end and Dylan and Isaac are waiting for you.
I included some of my other favorite books for you too. Happy reading, y’all!
XOXO,
Violet

Sometimes people are wrong. They’re wrong about what the score will be at the end of the game. They’re wrong about what route to run. They’re wrong about who they can trust. And fuck it, they’re wrong about people. Wrong about love. I used to be one of those people. Cynical. Egotistical. Selfish. But all it takes is one second. One split second of your life when you think you’ll lose everything. And suddenly it comes into focus. Faster than I take a snap. Faster than I read the defense. I can see all of it. I can see it being ripped away. In a split second all of it can be ruined. There could be a life where she doesn’t exist. Where the mistakes push her away.
They are wrong about me. And the thing about me is I love to prove people wrong.
It was hot as shit on the practice field. The September sun beat down on everyone. It didn’t discriminate between million dollar players or the trainers who took home fifty thousand a year. It was brutal and unrelenting, reminding all of us what it meant to play football in Texas.
Ownership promised we would have an indoor facility soon with air conditioning, but that didn’t do a damn bit of good when my linemen were cramping up on the field and I could barely see from the sting of sweat rolling in my eyes.
I gripped the ball between my fingers, digging into the leather with my nails while the sideline crew ran out to squirt water in the players’ mouths. I didn’t see what good an ounce of water was going to do in this heat, but I waited anyway.
Our rookie tight end, James, walked up to me. “What did you think of that last play?”
