Encroachment - Love By the Yard, #5 - E-book - ePub

In book five of Love by the Yard: When Chicago Grizzlies' defensive end, Declan Parker, has a career making play-it never crosses his mind it could be his last one on the field. But once Deck is rushed to the trauma unit at a local emergency room, the play turns out to be only one of the changes to affect his life. Cardiothoracic surgical resident, Dr. Leeda "Lee-Lee" Jackson, scoffed when she was called in for an orthopedic case.
Only the EKG told her the patient had more going on than a broken leg. Staring down at the patient struggling for air, she couldn't help seeing her brother, Xavier. Determined to do whatever she could to get the man back on the field, Lee-Lee sets out to do what she does best. Declan knows if his full condition is released to the Grizzlies, everything he's ever worked toward will be lost. Not ready to put that part of his life away, he plans to do whatever it takes, and the sexy doctor is the first step.
In football, if you're not cheating-you're not trying. An encroachment penalty is only a five yard penalty if you get caught. However, what's going on between the doctor and patient, could cost Declan and Lee-Lee everything they have achieved in life. Is their attraction more than a passing flirtation? Or will more than one heart need repaired when it is over?
