In 'JUST
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE', Harris serves up a treat that
will capture and enchant audiences everywhere--a big, bold,
and irresistible novel about football, family, and secrets.
Brady Bledsoe and his mother, Carmyn, have a strong relationship.
A single mother, faithful churchgoer, and the owner of several
successful Atlanta beauty salons, Carmyn has devoted herself
to her son and his dream of becoming a professional football
player. Brady has always followed her lead, including becoming
a member of the church's "Celibacy Circle." Now
in his senior year at college, the smart, and very handsome,
Brady is a lead contender for the Heisman Trophy and a spot
in the NFL.
As sports agents hover around Brady, Barrett,
a beautiful and charming cheerleader, sets her mind on tempting
the celibate Brady and getting a piece of his multimillion-dollar
future--but is that all she wants from him, and is she acting
alone?
