Fumbling in the Dark by Nichole Ruschelle

What happens when love, secrets, and the spotlight collide?

I’ve just been drafted to one of the best teams in the NFL, the Las Vegas Vipers. It should be the happiest time of my life, right? Wrong. Instead, I’m sitting at home, replaying every moment of my breakup with the woman I thought was my forever. Just when I’m drowning in my own misery, my best friend and teammate decides to play Cupid, setting me up on a blind date. Not just any blind date—a Valentine’s Day blind date.
Then she walked in. From the moment I saw her, I was hooked. She was everything I didn’t know I needed, though a bit grumpy. But I could work with that. There was just one tiny problem: she doesn’t know who I am or what I do. So, I decided to keep my life as a famous football player under wraps, hoping she’d fall for the real me before she discovered the rest. It seemed like a foolproof plan… until it wasn’t.

This is a spicy story about a sunshine of a football player who goes on a blind date for Valentine’s Day and meets the grumpy woman of his dreams.
