Nico

It was never supposed to be this way.

The Trickie Nickies were unbreakable but in the blink of an eye, we were ripped apart.

Draft Night ended with happiness and heartbreak and I was worried things would never be the same, again.

With my brothers headed in different directions, I moved to my new city and told myself I’d make the best of it. It didn’t take long for me to fall back into my old ways and soon, Nic “The Love Man” Loving was making a name with the women of Houston, and a reputation that was threatening to end my career.

I was a problem and according to my coach, needed fixing. Queue the fixer.

Valentina San Ramón was everything she promised to be. Tough, professional and immune to the Love Man’s charm. She was an impenetrable wall and I knew it would take a lot more than a twinkle in my eye and a crooked smirk to break her down.

When she finally let me in, I vowed to handle her heart with loving hands and never let her fall. Little did I know that I was the one that would fall.

Secrets were spilled, and the Nic that hid in the shadows, only coming out to play in the cloak of darkness, was thrown into the light when a jealous woman made it her mission to ruin my happiness.

It was déjà vu, and I just couldn’t let my happily ever after be swept away.

I may have fumbled the play, but there was plenty of time left on the clock to make things right and win back her heart. Then she’d see. I’d always be the one loving her.

But who was loving me?
