Consume Me by Casey Hagen

London Abbott, head librarian of the Bronx Public Library, is determined to turn her reading initiative into a raving success. Adding the burden of a tag-along playboy trying to improve his tarnished image is a stressor London doesn’t need, but when a trusted friend calls in a favor, she’s saddled with bad-boy football star.

Ryker Christiansen never imagined his lucrative football contract would ever be at risk, but after too many nights of partying and blatant evidence of his wild escapades, he has no choice but to repair his tattered reputation or be terminated. Sent to New York to preen for the media and show his altruistic side, he’s committed to sitting in a Bookmobile with antsy kids, ornery seniors, and taking orders from one prim and proper librarian.

London expects to bring Ryker down a notch or two, even as he sets out to prove he’s more than just an overindulged athlete. When their slow-burning heat erupts into sexual flames, the intensity of the fire threatens to either destroy their hearts…or forge them together.
