Please Believe Me

Madison Rosales is not your typical 22- year-old. While everyone her age is out graduating college? She's only getting started. While everyone is out partying? She's out working. While everyone is out dating? She's out taking care of her family.

After her father left them, she had no other choice than to become the second parent. Being responsible is the only thing she knows and her family comes before anyone else. Including herself.

Until her best friend, Vanessa, suggests she focus on herself for once. To go out and party, meet a man, and fall in love. Except Madison is jaded. Another painful scar she has thanks to her father. Growing up surrounded by toxic relationships has her believing that there is no good man. That is, until one trip to New York has her coming face to face with Maxon Blake.

Will he be the one to change her mind? To change the course of her life? Or will he get tired and leave like everyone usually does?

****

Maxon Blake is a 24-year-old hotshot Wide Receiver for the New England Patriots who has his own issues with women.

After being cheated on, Maxon believes there are no good women in the world. Sleeping around is something he's done for the past three years.

That is, until his eyes land on Madison. The moment he sees her, he's a goner. No other woman has grabbed his attention in so long that it scares him. There is just something about Madison that draws him to her that he can't seem to pinpoint. So Maxon sets out on a mission to get closer to Madison and explore their chemistry. Except Madison doesn't seem to care.

About him. About anything. Or anyone.

But Maxon is relentless. He didn't get to where he was by giving up easily, so he decides to be patient. Give her time and she'll come around.

Only, Madison will be staying with him for a week.

Will that be enough time to convince her that there is something between them? Will she even believe him? Or will she leave? Forgetting about him like everyone else.
