Number Eleven

Synopsis
People say not
to believe the things you read in magazines, but you know what? Most things
you’ve heard about me are probably true.
I totally banged
the reporter in the locker room after the championship game last year.
Those pictures
in Expose from last summer? Those were not modified.
I’m also not
really six-foot tall. (But let’s keep that between us.)
Now, I know
you’re wondering about that last Expose headline—the one about me and my
teammate (and ex-best friend) Finn Miller’s sister, Layla James. That one is a
little more complicated.
Here’s the
thing: I’ve played football my whole life. If there’s one thing I know, it’s
how to adjust when the game changes. And if there’s one thing I always do, it’s
find a way to win.
Granted, the
stakes are higher. The playbook has changed. There’s more on the line than
(another) MVP title. But guess what hasn’t changed? Me. I’m still Branch
“Lucky” Best and I’m not about to fumble this one.
Grab a seat and
a subscription to Expose. I’m about to make some headlines. (Again.)
A sexy,
swoon-filled standalone novel.

Excerpt
“One question,”
Poppy interjects, looking at Branch. “What position are you?”
“I typically
like the bottom so I can watch—oomph,” he says, getting another elbow from
Finn. “Wide receiver. Why?”
Looking at
Poppy, I can’t help but laugh as her eyes light up.
“You got a
problem with wide receivers?” Branch asks.
“You do,” Finn
interjects, giving me a narrowed glare. “They aren’t any better than
quarterbacks.”
Branch looks
from me, to Finn, and back to me. “Why do we not like quarterbacks?”
“My sister was
dating Callum Worthington.”
“No shit?” His
face puckers like he just bit into a lemon. “How in the hell did that
cocksucker end up with you?”
“He didn’t.
We’re not together anymore.”
Branch’s eyes
heat, the look causing my pulse to quicken. “I’m not a bit sorry to hear that.”
“You better
forget you heard any of that,” Finn warns. “This is my sister, Branch. Not a
cheerleader or reporter or some chick from a dating app. Got it?”
“Finn, relax,” I
say, shoving a swallow past the lump in my throat. “I appreciate the big
brother spiel, but I can handle myself.”
“I know you
can,” he says, pulling his gaze away from Branch. “But you can’t handle him.”
