Bender - Colleen Charles

When I moved from Italy to play for the Vegas Venom, it was a dream come true. My parents died when I was young, and I thought that being part of the team would be like being a part of a family.

I was wrong.
It turns out that I'm on thin ice. With everyone, really, but especially with Madison McKay.
Madison has lived rent free in my head since I met her at a photo shoot and I accidentally insulted her. She's a curvy goddess, but when I fumbled over my words she didn't let me dig myself out of the hole I created.
It doesn't help that my so-called friends like to tease me, purposely leading me down the wrong road. Or that my roommate is a grumpy veteran player who only speaks in three word sentences.
Now that Madison is in Las Vegas full time, I figure it's my second chance.

When I look at her, I already see our future together. She's mine. I just have to convince her that I'm worth another look.
But I'm about to have to convince her of a whole lot more.

When the Venom release me from the team I'm faced with a decision. I either have to return to Italy or figure out a way to stay in the states.legally.
Will Madison take a chance on forever with me or will I be heading back to my homeland alone?
