Pleasure Rush

Former New York Saber Thelonious Stokes still isn't used to being on the sideline. But that's exactly where the ex-linebacker finds himself while covering the Pro Bowl in his new gig as an analyst for Sports Talk TV. Theo always anticipates a few surprises during the annual gathering of the NFL's finest, but there's nothing more shocking—or alluring—than Deirdre Smallwood's blatant attempt at seduction.

After a lifetime of taking care of others, Deirdre is finally ready to start living life for herself. In Hawaii for her birthday, the normally shy single mother decides to shed her inhibitions and write a bucket list of the top five most outrageous things she can accomplish before she turns forty. She's giving herself one week to become a bolder, more confident woman. Number one on her list: Seduce her longtime crush, Theo Stokes.
