On one elk hunt, I'd heard this bull bugle all morning. My guide had called him within 30 yards, and he was standing just inside black timber. I saw the smoke from his nose wafting out into the icy air less than 30-yards away. All the bull had to do was step out, and I could take the shot with my bow. But then, through no fault of my guide or me, the bull vanished. The only conclusion I could come up with to understand why the bull I wanted to take with my bow hadn't stepped out and given me a shot.

Ich werde von einem edlen Modelabel beauftragt und soll einige der Philadelphia Pucks in enganliegender Unterwäsche ablichten. Das führt nicht nur zu Getuschel unter den Fans, die schon sehnsüchtig auf die heißen Aufnahmen warten, sondern stellt mich auch vor eine Herausforderung: Star-Spieler Finley Davis sieht in den Marken-Boxershorts zum Niederknien aus, ist Single - und anscheinend sehr an mir interessiert. Doch Finley ist dafür bekannt, viel und mehrgleisig zu flirten. Außerdem habe ich mir vorgenommen, niemals etwas mit einem Model anzufangen, das vor meine Linse tritt.

Wie hätte ich ahnen sollen, dass ausgerechnet sie der Schlüssel zu meinem Erfolg sein könnte?! Für einen festen Platz im Team der San Antonio Lions würde ich beinahe alles tun. Nur deswegen lasse ich mich verbotenerweise zu einem Interview überreden. Doch statt einer Sportreporterin schickt man mir Naomi, eine Foodbloggerin. Im Ego gekränkt breche ich das Interview frühzeitig ab. Ein Fehler, denn wie sich herausstellt, brauche ich die toughe Reporterin.
