What to expect
A sassy, spicy and hilarious sports romcom for fans of Emily Henry and Meghan Quinn. Miss Congeniality meets the Superbowl!
'A really fun, spicy read…I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys Elle Kennedy or Grace Reilly books'
'Once upon a time, those lips would have curved with a tender smile while his eyes would have roamed across my face, like he was reading a book and he enjoyed the words. Now his expression is stony as if he no longer sees anything worth his interest…'

TOUCHDOWN FOR LOVE
It’s been years since Lily’s heart was shattered by her college sweetheart and star quarterback, Tate Donaghue. Now, he’s a high-profile NFL player, and unfortunately for Lily, her latest security assignment.
For Tate, Lily left all those years ago without so much as a backward glance let alone an explanation. But pretending he’s in love with her now is easier than he’d like to admit…
With the countdown on to the biggest game in the NFL’s history and the threat level intensifying, can Lily and Tate move on from the past – or will they fumble the ball, and their relationship, when it matters most?
Tropes:
Forced Proximity
Enemies to lovers
Second chance romance
Fake dating
