Trusting You // Trust — Ketley Allison

A disgraced athlete faces his greatest competition yet -- the woman who has his little girl.

Him
LOCKE

I was at the top of my game, until I wasn't.

An injury derailed my football career for good. I dealt with it the only way I knew how: booze and women.

It's made me a pro player of a different sense. I feel unstoppable, unbreakable, and no one will ever figure out how miserable I've become.

Until a woman from my past shows up.

And she has my baby.

Her
CARTER

The ultimate tragedy is losing someone you love forever, and it's about to happen to me a second time.

I'm honor-bound to keep this child safe, and it's that duty alone that keeps me from clutching her to my chest and running far out of the city once I meet Locke Hayes.

His attitude, reputation, and living space all make him the worst fit, but the choice is no longer mine.

He's the father.

Locke's entitled to be surprised. I'm hoping he'll become the man this little girl needs him to be, but I worry he won't grow up enough to vacuum his apartment, never mind take care of a new baby.

Most of all, I'm terrified that by losing her, I'll also be giving up my heart ...

And it might be to him. But do I have it in me to lose love a third time?

WARNING: TRUSTING YOU is an angsty, slow burn, steamy, enemies-to-lovers romance with cursing and gasp-worthy scenes. Not to mention, a touch of a forbidden best friend's ex.

SAFETY NET: There is no cliffhanger and it can be read as a standalone!
