“Are you proposing a monogamous affair, Miss McCord?” One of my favorite blushes crept up on the fair skin of her cheek as she nodded. “Yes, I am.” “Good. Because I don’t share,” I stated huskily. Cara McCord had a new lease on life . After hearing the news that she was cancer-free, the Texas beauty was ready to move forward and live life to the fullest...starting with losing her virginity. There was only one problem—the gorgeous blonde only had one de-virginizer in mind, and he was someone she knew she could never have. Trace Briggs found the woman of his dreams when he was nine years old. For years, he'd been forced to be a spectator on the sidelines of her life. But now, circumstances had changed.

Trace’s years of being on the bench were over. All he needed to do was convince Cara to draft him as her starting lineup, and he would take care of the rest… Author's Note: Convincing Cara is a V-card carrying/cancer-surviving FMC, cowboy/alpha MMC, friends-to-lovers, best friend’s little sister, one bed, forced proximity, small town romance with fan-yourself heat, swoon-worthy moments, and a heartwarming HEA.
