The Recruiting Trip

The University of Gatica Series, #1

Aspiring college athlete Aileen Nessa is finding the recruiting process beyond daunting. Being ranked #10 in the world for the 100m hurdles at the age of eighteen is not a fluke, even though she believes that one race, where everything clicked magically together, might be. American universities doen't seem to think so. Letter are pouring in from all over the country. As she faces the challenge of differentiating between a college's genuine commitment to her or just empty promises from talent-seeking coaches, Aileen heads to Gatica State University, a Division One school, on a recruiting trip. The university's athletic program boasts one of the top sprint coaches in the country. The beautiful old buildings on campus and Ivy League smarts seem so above her little Ohio town upbringing. Tyler Jensen is the school's NCAA champion in the hurdles and Jim Thorpe recipient for top defensive back in football. His incredible ocean blue eyes and confident smile make Aileen forget why she is visiting UofG. His offer to take her under his wing, should she choose to come to Gatica, is a tempting proposition that has her wondering if she might be making a deal with an angel or the devil himself. *This is NOT erotica.
