Foolish Games
by Tracy Solheim

This Hail Mary play for the heart is the latest sports romance in the sizzling Out of Bounds series.

Bridal gown designer Julianne Marchione knows better than to lose her head at a client’s wedding. But, much to her embarrassment, a mix of migraine medication and a smoking hot football player lead to a steamy one night stand resulting in a surprise pregnancy. Julianne has every intention of leaving her NFL hookup far in the past until her son, Owen, is born with a life-threatening blood disorder that requires a transfusion—and Julianne is not a match.

Will “William the Conqueror” Connelly grew up tough, shouldering the stigma of being a bastard child born on the wrong side of the tracks. He refuses to let any child face the same discrimination. When he finds out about Owen, he’s furious that Julianne kept his son a secret. But when he sees her again at the hospital, he realizes that his feelings for her go far beyond anger.

Will insists that Owen recuperate at his home in North Carolina, and he’s adamant that Julianne become his wife—even if it’s only a temporary marriage in name only. But will their simmering attraction ever lead to a real connection? Or are they just playing foolish games?

Tracy Solheim's Bio

My creative writing career started in the fourth grade when I published my first book. It was a bestseller—mainly because my dad bought all ten copies I’d made on the school’s prehistoric Xerox machine. From there, I moved to newspaper reporting with a monthly column in a local newspaper. A bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Tennessee landed me in Washington, DC, where I wrote reports for Congress while pursuing a Master’s degree in Legislative Affairs from The George Washington University. Aside from a brief stint in television production for NBC Sports at the Seoul Olympics, most of my early writing consisted of crafting lengthy government reports. Not exactly the most scintillating backlist, I know! My creative writing projects had to wait until I could squeeze them in between my paying gig and my family’s busy schedule.

In 2009, my first work of fiction, GAME ON, was recognized as a finalist for the prestigious Maggie Award for Excellence. The following year, my second manuscript, LESS THAN PERFECT, was a finalist in the same contest. In June, 2012, Berkley Publishing contracted with me to publish GAME ON and two additional books.

Currently, I live in Johns Creek, Georgia, with my husband, two teenagers, an aging Labrador Retriever and a pony named after a monkey. When I’m not writing, I enjoy photography, cooking, and reading—shocker, right? Be sure to friend me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter.
