My life's defined by my long career as a quarterback. I'm determined to have a great season because I'm not sure how many I have left. But when I slam into gorgeous reporter Kelsey Cole on the sidelines, my focus on the game takes a backseat to my fascination with her. She's tiny, smart, fierce, and makes me feel young again.

Football's always come first, but Kelsey might be the one to change that.

My parents have helped out while I've been at school. I've had a plan...and now, I'm moving forward...until Grayson Kilpatrick makes a reappearance and upends all my plans. Again.

I detest my new teammate. The cocky, infuriating, obnoxious Australian rugby star, Colin Kearney, gets under my skin in every way imaginable. No wonder he got kicked out of his league. From the moment we met, he's occupied all my attention, so much so that we give in to one night to f*ck it out.
