The All-Star Antes Up by Nancy Herkness

I found Luke to be a very sweet man, "he stopped in front of her, his hands shoved into his jeans pockets. “I owe you more than a football for putting up with Trevor’s crap. Tell me what I can do to make it right with your boss.” The chemistry between Miranda and Luke is off the charts:
                    She smiled, even though he couldn’t see her. “Like a hard-riding cowboy.”
                   “You were the one ridin’, sugar.”
                   “And it was one heck of a rodeo.”
                   She started to shift on his lap, but he held her in place. “Rest a spell. I like having an armful of warm, satisfied woman.”
I really enjoyed this book I loved Luke.
