Play dirty. Sandra Brown. 2007.

His release from prison should have been the end of Griff Burkett’s troubles. It wasn’t. The former star American football player is reviled by fans for throwing a championship game, his fortune is lost, and he remains under a dark shadow of suspicion for an unsolved murder.

And his worst enemy, the man who has pledged to destroy him, is tracking his every move.

So when eccentric millionaire Foster Speakman offers Griffna vast amount of money in exchange for impregnating his wife Laura, Griff readily agrees. What could be easier? Little does he know that this bizarre contract will trap him in a web of betrayal, with deadly consequences.
