Marcus Allen I've worn hardships longer than I've worn football pads. Life hasn't given me much to celebrate except for my daughter and my God-given athleticism. Being a single father and the sole caregiver for my grandmother meant sacrifice. Football became my way to provide and keep my promises. I buried my needs beneath my responsibilities until I met her, Mia. She has guarded eyes and a beautiful soul. Mia made me believe there might be more than grind and grief. But life has taught me one thing: every blessing comes with a lesson. Mia Robinson Healing was my mission. After surviving a relationship with a serial cheater, I let go of the dream of a picture-perfect love story. My heart was shattered, so I chose solitude, therapy, and a microphone--building my podcast from pain and purpose. Love dropped to the bottom of my list. Then he walked in. Marcus Allen with smooth chocolate skin and eyes full of fire and focus. His presence makes me melt and panic. He's everything I want and everything I fear. I can handle this… right?
