Rules of the game

*"I'm glad we both know the score."*

When 34 year old Jay Courtland, football hero turned entrepreneur, was used to playing the game of love with sophisticated women who followed the rules-no attachments, no commitments, no cheating, he was not used to the Vanessas of this world.

Yet when he mistook photographer Vanessa for her more glamorous cousin, she reluctantly continued the deception. She was twenty-two years old, had never had a lover and knew she'd never again meet a man who made her feel the way Jay could.

So she prayed for a little beginner's luck and took the chance that Jay would eventually see her--and want her--for what she really was...and not as a poor substitute for Nadia.
