The Windy City isn’t quite ready for Phoebe Somerville -- the outrageous, curvaceous New York knockout who has just inherited the Chicago Stars football team. And Phoebe is definitely not prepared for the Stars’ head coach Dan Celebow, a sexist jock taskmaster with a one-track mind. Celebow is everything Phoebe abhors. And the sexy new boss is everything Dan despises -- a meddling bimbo who doesn’t know a pigskin from a pitcher’s mound.

So why is he drawn to the shameless sexpot like a heat-seeking missile? And why does the coach’s good ol’ boy charm leave cosmopolitan Phoebe feeling awkward, tongue-tied....and ready to fight?

The sexy, heartwarming, and hilarious ""prequel"" to New York Times bestselling author Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ This Heart of Mine -- her sensational bestsellng blockbuster -- It Had To Be You is an enchanting story of two stubborn people who believe in playing for keeps.

I absolutely loved this book. The story is great, the performance is great, the characters are great. I just could not take off my headphones.

Amazing Book

This was a delightfully surprising gem of a story! Just a bit uncomfortable with the way the author walks the line of physical romance with a rape victim. It’s just so hard to imagine a triggered victim falling for someone who assaulted her moments before. Besides that scene, everything else felt balanced fantasy and reality.

A Gem
