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.

Have a big family and live happily ever after. There's just one problem—men suck. What's a southern girl have to do to find her future husband? It's certainly not on the dating apps, so I do something out of my comfort zone—I ask my step sister to set me up. And what does she deliver? A six-foot-two, sexy as sin football coach who has a fear of commitment. Great. The definition of my Prince Charming.

I can't afford to get distracted. Not again.

I didn’t expect my first week with the Devils soccer team to involve saving a career.

That’s as close as I plan on getting to the gorgeous, bad-boy soccer god until he shows up at the house I’m temporarily sharing with my brother, needing a place to stay.

Ever since high school, I've always been one to follow the rules. Get good grades. Obey my parents. Don’t fall for the bad boy quarterback. What can I say? He had bright blue eyes and a smile that could light up a room. And while everyone saw him as the future pro football star, I just saw him as Bryce. He was my first love. My first kiss. And the first one to break my heart. But that's in the past. I've moved on. It was young love between two kids who didn't know how the world worked. Now we're both grown up. I'm happy with my quiet life in our small town.

One night of fun turns into a morning of regret when I wake up hungover, fully clothed, and next to muscle-bound wide receiver Ty Matthews… and a phone full of evidence of our Elvis-ordained nuptials. Talk about bad choices: I can be kicked off the team for talking to a football player, much less marrying one. After a night of spilling my darkest secrets, even playboy Ty knows exactly how to persuade me to stay married to him—he promises to fund my small business dreams if I convince his parents we're together. Our so-called agreement is already off to a crazy start.

She swore off the man who broke her heart. He’s determined to win her back.

Lorelei Romano thought junior year would be spent living with her best friend, having the best season of her life on the girls’ soccer team and enjoying time with her boyfriend.

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. When he kisses me on the nose at training camp, after I rake him over the coals, it sets off a chain reaction in me I can't come back from. And I don't know if I want to find my way back.

Evidently, I’m a rule breaker. The rule I broke? Falling for the straight man with two kids. Didn’t help that he is the Governor of California.
