The Windy City isn’t quite ready for Phoebe Somerville – the outrageous, curvaceous New York knockout who has just inherited the Chicago Stars football team. And Phoebe is definitely not prepared for the Stars’ head coach Dan Celebow, a sexist jock taskmaster with a one-track mind. Celebow is everything Phoebe abhors. And the sexy new boss is everything Dan despises – a meddling bimbo who doesn’t know a pigskin from a pitcher’s mound.

So why is he drawn to the shameless sexpot like a heat-seeking missile? And why does the coach’s good ol’ boy charm leave cosmopolitan Phoebe feeling awkward, tongue-tied….and ready to fight?

The sexy, heartwarming, and hilarious prequel to New York Times bestselling author Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ This Heart of Mine – her sensational bestsellng blockbuster – It Had To Be You is an enchanting story of two stubborn people who believe in playing for keeps.
