Overview

In book four of Love by the Yard: Beaumont Guthry, in his short time in the sport, prepares to step out of the shadow as a backup quarterback and into the spotlight as he takes over the Chicago Grizzlies. The team may be desperate for a quarterback, but Beau fears his style might get him benched before the first pass is in the air. For Beau, it will be the first time his father's money won't help to smooth over any missteps he makes. The thirst for knowledge is what has kept Esme Carmichael in college for the last eight years. When her parents draw a line in the sand, forcing her to pick a degree and graduate, Esme realizes her biggest worry in the last decade has been could she swing more than two hours sleep a night. Esme, instead of the four walls and security of a classroom, is faced with the future, one which petrifies her. Meeting Beau seemed to be the perfect distraction she needed. What she didn't count on was his past derailing their chance for a relationship-a relationship, she nor he signed up for. It was supposed to be a simple deal-sex-no strings, no complications.
