Gideon Maynard is football royalty. Generations of his family have played the game, owned the teams, run the leagues . . . and so it's no surprise that Gideon is the starting quarterback and star player for the Richmond Rebels. But underneath his aloof yet drool-worthy exterior, he's nursing a bruised and skittish heart.Sarah Jenkins swore off dating athletes years ago. She's completely committed to her career in politics and public relations and to life as a single woman, and that's the way she likes it, thank you very much.When the two meet through friends, the attraction is instant and undeniable, but both Gideon and Sarah are smart enough to know that a relationship isn't in the cards for them. Slowly, though, they find a way to friendship . . . and eventually, to something even deeper.But just as playing football takes more than talent and hard work, a lasting love requires more than steamy nights and passionate kisses. Forever means believing in scary ideas like trust and forgiveness.Is a happily-ever-after possible for two hurting, broken souls who are willing to risk it all for a love that won't end?

I don't do love.I don't do relationships. But then Eli Tucker came back into my life. Football is everything, but love is the only game that matters. When Eli Tucker meets Zelda Porter on the first day of their college freshman year, he thinks she's vaguely familiar. But he'd remember a woman like her, wouldn't he? Zelda's blonde, built and beautiful . . . just Tuck's type, back when he had a type. Back when he was a football star. Back before he snapped his spine and ended up paralyzed. Zelda's memory of her first encounter with Tuck is all too vivid, but that was a long time and many guys ago. She's not interested in long term or love. Men exist to meet a temporary need, and that's all she wants. Even if Eli Tucker still stirs something in her heart, she can't afford the pain that might come from allowing him closer. Still, even though Tuck can't run for touchdowns anymore, he knows what wins the game: Hold on tight to what matters most. Use the element of surprise to your advantage. Fight like hell for every down. And, no matter what, never give up.
