NFL quarterback Clay Braden, the golden boy the media has crowned 'Mr. Perfect,' is used to getting exactly what he wants, on the field and off. Scientist Pepper Montgomery relies on facts rather than impulses, which is why one reckless night with a famous quarterback in Paris feels so wildly out of character. When their paths cross again back home, Pepper does the only sensible thing she can think of: she insists she is not the woman Clay spent that unforgettable night with. Clay, cocky and utterly certain, refuses to buy it, and the harder she denies it, the more determined he becomes to uncover the truth and win her over. What follows is a battle of wits between a charming athlete who trusts his gut and a guarded scientist who trusts her data, each convinced they have the other figured out. Set in the small town of Ridgeport among the sprawling Braden family, this steamy, opposites-attract romance throws a larger-than-life quarterback together with a woman determined to resist him, and asks whether a man dubbed 'Mr. Perfect' can prove himself worthy of the one person unwilling to simply take him at his word.
