Scar

A closed-off bartender. An outgoing college athlete. Sparks fly . . . but will anyone win this battle of wills? BEARD: Oh, I want him. But it's too risky. My past isn't pretty. After a disastrous incident nearly destroyed me, I rose from the ashes to reclaim my life. I may not be happy, but I'm comfortable. And I'll never let anyone get close enough to hurt me again. But then six feet of pure temptation walks through the doors of my bar . . . repeatedly . . . for a year. I've done a good job of ignoring the sexy college soccer player, until the night his teammates leave him stranded and intoxicated, forcing me to offer him shelter. Now I can't shake the persistent man. SOCCER: I play to win. But he's more than a game. As a forward, it's my job to score points. Too bad I haven't been able to do that with the local green-eyed bartender. I haven't been subtle about my attraction, and Beard's interest shines through his gruff exterior . . . whether he chooses to admit it or not. When my well-meaning teammates intervene, using questionable tactics, and leave me at Beard's mercy, it's time to make my move. When past hurts threaten to destroy their chance at happiness, is it time for Soccer to push forward to reach his ultimate goal . . . or has he made a play destined for mutual heartbreak? Contains mature themes.
