Imperfect Strangers

She's looking for a forever kind of guy. He might not live to see tomorrow.

Bethany Connell has one goal: keep her cookies in her basket. And by cookies, she means sex. She will not be distracted by a pretty face and a rock-hard body again. This time, she wants a grown-up relationship. Something steady. Something forever.

And then she wakes up in bed with New York City's sexiest playboy.

For Brent Crawford, only one thing matters: football. Except one more pass, and the game could kill him. Literally. With a lethal heart condition he's been hiding from everyone, he's got nothing to offer a woman, between the sheets or anywhere else.

And then he wakes up in bed with a spitfire blonde who needs his all.

So right for each other, Bethany and Brent are convinced now is the wrong time.

But they're about to find out it's never too late to heal a broken heart.
