Sarah York celebrated passing the bar with a New Orleans weekend with her friends. But then everyone coupled up but her, and she was left getting cozy with her drink. Until a mouthwatering god named Beau Perini, hotshot football player, swept her off her feet and into a night of unbelievable ecstasy. When she fell asleep, she was already trying to figure out how they’d get together again.
Except, when she woke up, Beau had done a disappearing act. And not even a thank you note, the rat.
Fast forward six years. Sarah is the newly minted in-house counsel for the Miami Thunder football team, and Beau is their golden new free agent. Imagine her shock when she sees him at the press conference to introduce him to the Miami media.
Beau has never stopped thinking about Sarah and regretting his hasty exit. Through a bad marriage and divorce, full custody of his three-year-old son, and a fat new contract with the Thunder, he’s never stopped thinking of her. Now, he thinks Fate has given them another chance, and he plans to make the most of it.
Too bad Sarah, who has trust issues, might not see it his way. But then the chemistry between them explodes again and all bets are off.

You can’t beat a novella by Desiree Holt. She rarely doesn’t capture your heart with the depth of her characters and their sizzling romance. She has another hit with Daring to Chance It.
Sarah hasn’t had much luck in the love department. First, she is too busy getting her law degree, then she has a smokin’ one night stand that leaves her feeling stupid and used and then to top off her stellar career with men, she is used by a man who isn’t above sleeping his way to the top. With a new chance of an amazing career in a new city, she is ready to write all men off. It really shouldn’t be a problem. She has her job and her favorite sport, football, to keep her busy.
Beau has life many would dream of. He plays his football with passion and has a career that keeps going beyond his wildest dreams. Though he regrets his departure from an amazing night with an even more amazing woman, he has his son to think about. If he could go back he would have done things differently, but that ship has sailed.
While their initial encounter left me hot and cold, their reunion was nothing but spectacular. Their chemistry was practically visible in the air and their passion was enviable. While Sarah didn’t hold out for long, Beau more than made up for it with his one track mind to win her over for good.
Ms. Holt wrote a second chance novella that had both heart and soul with an overabundance of feelings. Daring to Chance It was well written and such a sweet sexy story. Thank you Desiree for helping me escape the mundane and experience a beautiful love story.
