This Heart of Mine by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Molly Somerville's life many not be perfect, but it's pretty close. She loves her cramped little loft, her poodle, and she adores her nieces and nephew. Molly has quite a bit to be happy about ... except her long-term crush on the Chicago Stars quarterback, that awful Kevin Tucker. It might be slightly easier if Molly's sister, Phoebe, didn't manage the Stars. Then she'd never have to see him.
Molly's penchant for trouble boils over, turning her world upside down. Heartbroken and certain things can't get worse, Kevin forces his way back into her life. Molly soon finds Kevin isn't quite as shallow as she had assumed, and his stubborn streak takes them to a picturesque place called Wind Lake. There, Kevin and Molly are forced to battle their growing attraction to each other while dealing with sex-crazed teenaged newlyweds, an aging actress with a link to Kevin, and a crabby, world-renowned artist.
