The Player Next Door — Kathy Lyons

NBA star Mike Giamaria won't risk his career by playing with love. Ever. But when his cute, quirky, brainiac of a new neighbor falls off her death trap of a roof into his arms, Mike knows he's caught a heap of trouble! Trouble sums up Tori's life. Despite her academic success, no one believes she can take care of herself -- not her family, not her ex-boyfriend. She's determined to live her life on her own terms, and if that includes a hot summer fling with the super-sexy athlete next door, so much the better. With Tori around, Mike can't keep his mind on basketball. He wants more. And to his horror, not just more time on the court. But when he puts the game ahead of the girl, he'll have to hit the biggest shot of his life to win her back.
