Maxwell Lewis has to make the play of his life in order to breach the woman of his dream's defenses in this new football romance from the author of Fumbled.
Brynn Larson owes a lot to reality television and professional athletes. Her bar hit new heights of success after becoming a local haunt for the Denver Mustangs players and their WAGs. But although she's grateful, that doesn't mean she's crazy. And that's exactly what she would be to ever consider dating a professional athlete. Even if it's Maxwell Lewis, whose shy smile makes her wonder what going on behind those beautiful brown eyes.
Maxwell knew from the moment he met Brynn that she was going to change his life. It was only a matter of time. But when he finally makes a move, fate conspires against him and everything goes wrong. Now he has to show her that their potential is real. Too bad for him, Brynn isn't fooled by his glamorous NFL life, and when ghosts from both their pasts make a sudden reappearance, she must decide who she can trust. But when the person she's most afraid of is herself, navigating life's tackles is harder than anticipated.

You don't. You force it back to the far recesses of your mind and push through, but it's never gone for long.
Dominique has been drooling over AJ since she was a child. Time and proximity have done nothing to tamp down on this puppy love crush that has developed into mature longing. All she wants is a little piece of something with him, that's all, but when she gets that piece, will it be enough? Or is she willing to wait longer for his love?

Brayden
I'm a goddamn prodigy. I threw my first curveball the day I was born. The whole town is waiting on me. To live up to my father's famous name. To reach for the stars. All I want to reach for is her. But Ashley is the sweet addiction I can't afford. She's my best friend's sister. For years, I've protected her from guys that want one thing. What happens now that I've turned into one of them?
My game plan sounds simple: Pitch my way into the Major League draft and stay out of Ashley Foster's pants. That first part may be statistically difficult. The second feels damn near impossible.
Ashley
From the moment we met, I knew he was trouble. The type that ruins you for any other brand.
When we were young kids, I didn't know what to call the frogs and butterflies that danced in my belly whenever Brayden came near. Now I know they have a name. Those three little words that could heal or destroy him. Before Brayden, my life was normal. And then it wasn't. It couldn't be. Ever again. How was I to know stealing his seat would change all our lives? Anger and forgiveness share two halves of the same coin. Our story might make you choose sides.
Contains mature themes.
Strike One: My mother named me Theodore after her favorite chipmunk. Not cool, Mom. I've spent most of my life answering to Teddy because I couldn't make Theo work. Except for here. College. The place where all bets are off, and I've managed to redeem myself. There's only one problem, my new roommate, Troy, is football royalty and looks like he stepped off the set of an Abercrombie shoot. Doesn't matter, I cook a mean breakfast for his panty parade, and we get along well. And anyway, this year I got the girl. And she's perfect. That's right. Theodore Houseman, former band geek, now marching-band rock star has finally landed the girl of his dreams. Everything is perfect. That is, until Troy takes a good look at her. I'm not going down without a fight. As a matter of fact, I'm not going down at all. As glorious as these days may be for my all-star roommate, Laney is my end game. I may not know much about play strategy, but I've been the good guy my whole life. I've been listening, and I know exactly what women want. Framed in a picture standing next to me, Troy may seem like Mr. Perfect, but he's underestimating the guy on the right.
Senior year. My last chance . . .
The Ballers took everything away from me last year. Riding the bench wasn't what I'd planned, and I don't want a repeat of that this season. I can't have a repeat of that, not if I want to accomplish all those goals I set for myself when I first came to RHS.
There's one problem though. One Baller is determined to keep me on the sidelines. I'm broken because of him. Physically broken.
I can't let that stop me though. There's so much riding on this year, and I won't let anything-or anyone-get in my way.
Contains mature themes.

The tall, muscled ex-boxer with a foul mouth shows up just as her boss does, and now she's stuck with the manipulative jerk.

Problem is, they can barely keep their hands off each other. And what started as an easy deal isn't so easy anymore.
