When you’re a female sports reporter, you have to work twice as hard. Prove your worth. Show people that you belong in the room. The pressroom. Not the bedroom. Oops. And there’s my first mistake. In my defense, resisting Hunter McAvoy is easier said than done. Professional football insiders call him the hottest up-and-coming coach in the league. Gossip columns rate him as the sexiest coach in pro sports. But only I know that when he kisses you, you feel it in every cell in your body.

Seeing CoCo Becket for the first time made my heart start beating again. It changed everything. Before her, I had no purpose, no reason to live. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever met. I couldn't help but fantasize about kissing her plump lips or having those sky blue eyes staring back at mine, seeing beyond what I truly was. Broken and ashamed. My desire for her ran deep...deeper than I expected it to. She was a goddess, and I was simply caught up in her glow. I couldn't say no. Not to her kindness and not to my need to be near her.

I kept loving Holden Montgomery, even after he walked away, shattering my heart into a million pieces. Now after four years, he's back on my doorstep…pleading for forgiveness and my hand in marriage. He asked for time and I vowed to try, but now he was half a world away, deployed with the Marines. Tragedy strikes, causing Holden to return to me half the man he was before. Now I'll have to decide if it's worth risking my heart for a second time, or if our chance at happiness has passed.

The quint is aligned, and as much as I hoped life would simplify once the five of us mated...it's a big "Hells no" on that. Don't get me wrong, the guys are great, with me, with each other. Sexy sparks are flying in every direction and having a front-row seat is enough to ignite me into flames - even if I wasn't a mythical firebird. Now we need to get ahead of the chaos coming at us. Open the portal. Unite the realms. Everyone lives happily ever after. But not everyone is as on board as they pretend. Who do we trust? Who's working against us?

With my mates and I bonded in body and soul, the Quint is fully aligned. And while it feels sometimes like it's the five of us against the world, it's not. Along the way, we've built family and friends and allies invested in our success. They stand behind us as we tackle our final trials. Our time of being on the defensive is over... it's offense now. Our destiny... Open a portal to StoneHaven. Unite the realms. Live happily ever after. With our lives on the line, the five of us dig in. We fought hard for the future that's within our grasp and no one will take that away from us.
