Book one in the Perfect Stats series.

In the span of a year, Bane Carter acquired a new job, his brother’s four kids, a crappy nanny and, worst of all, his ex-wife. What could possibly go wrong?

Rule number one—never help an ingrate! Ignoring that hard-learned lesson put Dahl Baby Hamilton straight in the path of her famous ex. All she has to do is save her cousin’s failing restaurant, First Down, then she can go back to her fabulous life. But the main financier—Bane Carter, her ex—finds out and decides to make her life a living hell. Either she becomes the personal chef for an ailing house manager, one neglectful nanny and his four charges or risk having her reputation ruined. What’s an award-winning chef to do when her sexy ex-husband is blackmailing her?

The only black GM in the league, former football hero Bane Carter has his work cut out for him. It’s bad enough that he has to navigate around a dysfunctional team, but the recent passing of his brother and his wife have given him full guardianship of their kids. On top of all that, the last thing he needs is to bump into the woman who broke his heart at the worst possible time—the beginning of his career.

After two failed marriages, Bane realizes he has always been searching for the one who got away the first time. Of course, he doesn’t expect to find her in the same city, let alone cooking in his restaurant.

When Tamara Harris walked out on Jamarcus on their wedding day, she was hurt and confused about the issues that were plaguing her life.

Maverick

I know it’s not right to want her as much as I do. In fact, it makes absolutely no sense. Our relationship is strictly professional and I get that. She’s my therapist, for Christ’s sake; but I can’t help but think she’s everything I’ve ever needed. She says the way she treats me is part of her job and nothing more. She said my response is the result of transference, but hell – the only thing I want to transfer to Amaris Flowers is the unbridled brunt of my passion until she’s screaming my name, over and over. Her Code of Ethics dictates that she can’t engage me for five years.

That’s fine with me.

I’ll wait.

Amaris

The minute Maverick Dangerfield walks into my office, I can immediately assess his energy: he’s cocky and grandiose – used to getting just what he wants, when he wants. He’s also sexy as hell, and it’s not long before I find myself pulling on every part of my clinical training to ignore the things he’s projecting. When he walks into our session and announces that he’s quitting therapy, I’m shocked.

And relieved.

But when he reveals that he’s only ending because he plans to wait out the five years, I know that trouble is on the horizon. Like I said: this man is used to getting what he wants, and I have a feeling that by the time five years is up, he’s going to get it.
