The NFL’s grumpiest single dad has met his match. And she comes with sunshine and surfboards.
I have a simple philosophy in life: ride the waves, soak up the sunshine, and never turn down an opportunity for a little trouble.
Brock Porter clearly does not share my philosophy.
The grumpy NFL star is on Smuggler’s Hideaway for training camp with his teenage son and enough scowls to frighten away every mermaid in the Atlantic. When his son joins one of my surfing courses, Brock decides that means he needs to supervise.
I should find his hovering annoying. Instead, I find myself wanting to discover exactly what it takes to make the grumpy giant smile. What makes his blue eyes sparkle. How it would feel to have those strong arms hold me.
But Brock is only on the island for training camp. Getting attached to him—or his son—is asking for trouble.
Too bad I’ve never been very good at staying out of trouble.
And Brock Porter might be my favorite kind yet.
Lowering His Guard is a spicy small-town sports romance featuring grumpy / sunshine, a protective single dad, football chaos, meddling teammates, a pint-sized surfer who refuses to be intimidated by a scowl, and an NFL star who never stood a chance once a surfer started breaking through his defenses.
Training camp brings all the Steel City Seals to Smuggler’s Hideaway at once, which means overlapping timelines, familiar faces, and football-player chaos. Read in any order.
