I might be the new girl inside the locker room, but I certainly wasn't born yesterday.

And from the looks of things, neither were any of the New York Mavericks football players. *Ahem* Full disclosure, I'm still trying to forget just how much I saw of them.

Perhaps the best-looking of the macho bunch-famous wide receiver Sean Phillips-makes his rock-hard body a little easier to forget with his cockiness, though. Sure, he's gorgeous and a world-renowned all-star with his hands, but I know a bad-boy player when I see one.

Headstrong and full of himself, Sean makes the mistake of going toe-to-toe with me on the first day of my new job-a once-in-a-lifetime chance I'm not going to let that famous football star's big ego ruin.

You know that saying, keep your friends close, but your enemies closer?

Well, I'm going to keep Mr. Cocky Football Star as close as I possibly can so I can intercept any and all problems he might try to cause.

He might assume I'm just like all the other women who swoon at his feet, but even toddlers have to learn they can't always get what they want.

Come hell or high water, I will be the girl who is immune to Sean Phillips's love-'em-and-leave-'em ways.
