Synopsis

How do you find the will to try, when you've spent all of your life playing on a field strewn with shattered lives and broken rules? Tragedy and betrayal taught Jenna Sutherland early on that her safest bet was to fiercely avoid any risk, whether it is in work, life, or love. Now a respected orthopedic surgical resident on the cusp of finally breaking through in her career, she’s more guarded than ever. When injured NFL quarterback Wyatt McCoy bulldozes into her life there’s no denying he’s cocky, selfish, and downright dangerous — everything Jenna’s sworn she doesn’t want. Suddenly the levelheaded doctor finds herself facing down her greatest fear, and she’s tempted to gamble all she’s fought so hard to build. The two embark on an intense holiday love affair that quickly teeters on obsession, and tempts them both to think they could go all-in on a real future together. Yet Wyatt's desperation to stay on the field — and out of the operating room — lures him to take dangerous risks with Jenna's trust. Will they win at love or lose everything — including their fragile chance at happiness?

Review

I was given book for honest review. Gateway of Love series book 2. Player in more ways than one Wyatt needs a doctor and chooses Jenna. Disappointed one time to many Jenna isn’t sure if taking a chance on Wyatt is the best course for her. The attraction won’t be denied so hot and there. Be sure and read book 1 as it is a not to be missed read as well. This series is great. Full of characters that seem to leap of the pages as friends.
