Vanessa Mazur knows she’s doing the right thing. She shouldn’t feel bad for giving up. Being an assistant/housekeeper/fairy godmother to the top defensive end in the National Football Firm was always supposed to be temporary. She has plans, and none of them include washing extra-large underwear much longer than necessary.

However when Aiden Graves shows up at her door seeking her another, she’s beyond shocked. For two years, the man known as the Wall structure of Winnipeg couldn’t think it is in him to show her hello or congratulate her on her birthday. Today? He’s asking for the unthinkable.

What do you tell the man who’s used to getting everything he wants?
