Book excerpt: They say there's no such thing as second chances... Troy: I'm a country-boy at heart. The only thing I ever wanted to do - the only thing I could do - was play football. So when I made it to the top I lived the way any other guy with a multi-million dollar contract and a bumper crop of willing women would. Sure, I knew the party wouldn't go on forever. I just didn't know it would end so abruptly - or that I would be the one ending it. I didn't know I was going to fall in love...Anna doesn't know the truth. She doesn't know I only did what I did to protect her. Now all I have to do is break down the brick wall she's built around her heart and make her understand that my life doesn't mean anything without her in it. Easy, right?Anna: I didn't even know who Troy Beckman was when I met him on that chilly autumn night in New York City. All I knew was I'd just gotten the worst news of my life and I needed something - anything - to take my mind off the fact that all those brutal hours in the ballet studio might have been for nothing. I should have paid more attention. I should have known. Maybe I could have avoided having my face splashed all over the tabloids and my reputation ruined? All I know is he made me feel things I'd never felt before and he met needs I didn't even know I had...And then he abandoned me. Now I've got a broken heart, a phone full of unanswered calls and a belly getting bigger by the day. Do I dare trust the man who caused all three? A novel about big city ambitions, broken dreams and the healing power of love. Author's note: 'The Ballerina and The Baller' is a full-length (60k), standalone romance novel with a guaranteed HEA.
