Excerpt:

In my opinion, in football, there isn’t a more badass position than shutdown cornerback. What makes my position so badass? Well, I have to be agile and quick and have a natural instinct for the game. My footwork has to be on point, and my speed has to be unmatched. I have to cover, read, adjust, and break on the ball. This position, my position, is one of the biggest anchors of pass defense plays. What does all of that football lingo mean? It means I’m vital. It means I’m the guy who will stop a quarterback’s touchdown pass. I’m the man who won’t let the best wide receivers in the league get their greedy hands on the ball. Last year, my college record was nearly unheard of. I held opposing QBs to a 47.9 rating when they tried to throw the ball to the man I was covering. Basically, I was the badass in one of the toughest positions in the league. And now, as one of the newest first-round draft picks for the New York Mavericks, I’m the guy with everything to prove. I can either be the big hero, or I can be the guy who loses the fucking game. My reputation is on the line, my nearly flawless career in college taunting me in the background to live up to it, and if there’s one thing I need to do, it’s focus. But life’s got other plans. I should have my mind on my money—and my money on my mind—but the only thing I can seem to think of these days is the mystery girl I met at one of the team’s very first group activities. Blond hair. Long lashes. Criminally blue eyes. She’s petite and awkward, and she’s completely fucking up the plan. But it’s too late to second-guess. And it’s sure as fuck too late to go back. Once my mind is fixated on something, there’s no stopping me. I have my eye on the bombshell prize, and I won’t settle for anything less than victory. Good thing I’m at my best when the pressure’s on.
