Out of Play

Declan Hawkes is brilliant. He's the youngest chairman in the Premier League. He runs one of the most successful clubs in England. He has homes in Monaco and Lake Como. He's driven. One of the wealthiest men in the UK. He's also hot. Like, the hottest man I've ever laid eyes on. In short, Declan Hawkes is the dangerous kind of man who can have anything and everything he wants. And . . . he wants me. Me! A graduate intern, who has lived in the same house in Birmingham, England, for my entire life. So when Declan decides to pursue me, the woman who sneezed a fake eyelash onto one of his exquisite designer dress shirts, I panic. We have nothing in common. But for some reason, he invites me to an exclusive party on New Year's Eve. I'm inclined to say no, but my friends are going and they want me to be there, too. But if I go . . . What on earth am I going to do with a billionaire?
