Synopsis
|
Learning how to fly stole my childhood, and accomplishing my dreams took my
parents. After my parents’ death, taking care of
my little brother and running my dance studio are the only things I’ve got
time for in my hectic life. Until Declan Sinclair. As the number one draft pick for the
Philadelphia Kings, he’s not afraid of putting in a little
hard work to get what he wants. And he wants me. I don’t know if my heart can survive
falling in love. * All the best games are won in inches,
not yards, and I’m gonna earn this win inch by inch. I’ve spent my life working toward one
goal. Playing professional football. Until Annabelle Hart. She’s fierce, loyal, and the strongest
woman I’ve ever met. I knew she was meant to be mine the
first time I saw her. But knowing that and making it happen
are two very different things. Will this beautiful ballerina let me
earn her love? |

Quote(s)

1.
When I saw you I fell in love, and you
smiled because you knew. – Arrigo Boito 2.
Dad used to say it didn’t matter that
we didn’t have a big family. As long as we had four Harts, we had more than
everyone else. All you need is heart and
soul. 3.
We’ve had media coaching for years, and
yet, it’s not really something I’ve ever become comfortable with. Used to it – yes. Comfortable
with it – no. 4.
Chase your dreams, Nattie. Chase every
single one of them because you never know when they’re going to change. 5.
“I keep to a pretty strict diet. I want
to keep my body as healthy as possible so I can play the game as long as I want
to. That means staying in peak condition. Part of that is what I put into my
body.” His eyes linger on mine. “You were a professional dancer. I’d imagine
you couldn’t eat whatever you wanted or do whatever you wanted without it
effecting your performance.” 6.
“It’s still the same thing. When your
career is based on your physical ability, you have to take care of yourself. Now,
I’m not saying everyone agrees with me. Half the guys on the team eat shit
and booze it up all season, but they’ll be the guys who have careers that
span the average length for the league.” … “How long does the
average player get to play?” “Three years.” … “they train
all their lives and only get three years.” 7.
I slip my hand in his and clutch my
purse to my chest, so no one gets a peep show as I get out of the limo. I learned
that move years ago. If you ever need etiquette lessons, just watch British royalty.
They know all the tricks. 8.
She’s crazy if she thinks I’m giving up
this easily. Anything worth being given
has to be earned. And I’m gonna earn
Annabelle’s heart. 9.
I’m barely twenty years older than you,
and let me tell you, those twenty flew by in the blink of an eye. Be careful
because someone’s going to be calling you ‘old man’ before you know it. 10.
When you decide to get into a serious relationship,
it needs to be with someone who doesn’t care about your fame or the money. Those
things come and go. It needs to be with someone whi’ll fight for you – Declan
the man, not Declan the quarterback. 11.
She reminded me all week that this date
is for Tommy and me. It’s her way of telling me I’m supposed to stay on my side
of the fifty-yard line. She doesn’t realize all the best games are won in
inches, not yards, and I’m gonna earn this win inch by inch. 12.
A lot of bad shit goes down in this
city. Whether you hear about it or not, it’s there. You’ve got to be safe,
and as your friend, I don’t want you checking this shit out alone. 13.
Declan’s in my shower, and his bird is
way bigger than mine. 14.
Guard your heart. Learning to
fly took years. Crashing and burning only takes one wrong move. Are you sure
you’re ready to take that leap? Do you think he’ll catch you if you fall? 15.
Don’t wait too long to fill your
friends in. sneaking around feels awful and only hurts the people you care
about when it comes out in the wash. Take it from someone who knows. 16.
Declan’s bird is way bigger than mine. 17.
Pop was heartbroken, but I still
remember him telling me that the love
of a good woman was the greatest gift any man could ever ask for and you need
to make sure you earned it every day. 18.
You’re a leader, and it’s game day. This
is the price you pay. This is being a professional, Declan. Assholes are
always gonna say something. They’re everywhere, including on our team. He’s
half the man you are, on and off the field. He’ll never know the kind of love
you have because of Annabelle and Tommy. 19.
Belles has been belles has been puking
day, but it’s okay because the babies are in there, making her sick. She’s
gonna be fine. 20.
One piece of advice when you go house
hunting. Make sure there’s plenty of room for a big table. The best days of
your life will be the days that table is full. 21.
Nothing’s promised. It’s earned. |
