Synopsis
Finlay Thatcher
is a lost soul, guilt-ridden after the death of her twin brother. When
Alabama's football coach gives her the opportunity to work for him, she knows
it's her chance to move on, even if it means living her brother's dream.
Caden Brooks is
Alabama's star quarterback. He's got it all. The attention of adoring fans. A
girlfriend who'd do anything to hold on to him. And a future in the pros. He's
getting along just fine until Finlay steps into his life, despising him at
first sight and pushing his buttons like no other.
Unfortunately
for Finlay, and her attempt to keep Caden at arm's length, there's nothing
Caden loves more than a challenge. The problem with this challenge is she comes
with a secret that has the power to destroy everything.

Excerpt
“You’re awfully quiet this morning.”
My eyes cut to Brooks. His ear buds dangled
over his shoulders. I tugged mine out. “Huh?”
“Just wondering what pearls of wisdom you’re
gonna bestow upon me today.”
“You need to stop hesitating when you drop
back,” I told him, much to his obvious surprise. “Either do it or don’t. Did
you see how those guys pummeled you?”
“See it? I was under it.”
“Yeah, well, your offensive line sucks. But
you can’t give the defense a chance to get to you. Know where you’re throwing
and hit the mark. Your receivers are good. They’ll get there.”
He stared at me, his eyes narrowed slits.
I wiped my face with the small towel I’d
draped over the treadmill screen. “Don’t worry, you’ve got potential.”
He laughed disbelievingly. “Potential? I’m
the starting quarterback for Alabama.”
Those words—especially leaving his mouth—cut
deep. The only reason he was playing was because Cole wasn’t.
“I’ve got more than potential,” he assured
me.
“Yeah. You’ve got a massive ego ready to
destroy small countries,” I said, my words clipped as I remembered why I
despised him so much.
“All great athletes have egos. You’ve got
to.”
Wow. My hatred toward him was growing by the
second. “And you’re humble.”
He laughed. Didn’t he notice I wasn’t
laughing? I hoped to God he didn’t think I was flirting. This was as far from
flirting as one could get.
We ran in silence, the pounding of our
sneakers on the treadmills mirroring the pounding in my head brought on by his
arrogance.
“What’s your deal anyway?”
I glanced over at him. “What’s that supposed
to mean?”
“Not many girls know so much about football and
wake up at four in the morning to run.”
I scoffed. “Hope you’re not implying I
thought you’d be here.”
“I didn’t say that.”
“But you were thinking it.”
He smirked. “You’d be amazed at the lengths
girls go to get my attention.”
My eyes flared. “I suppose you think I took
some crash course in football, too, just to impress you with all my knowledge.”
“Just saying.”
My face scrunched as I pressed the arrow on
the screen to quicken my pace. “Keep dreaming, superstar.”
“Girls have done some whacked out shit.”
My eyes jumped between the wall in front of
me and Brooks. “First of all, I’m not about to steal your towel because it has
your sweat on it, nor will I be swiping your jockstrap to sell online. We, my
friend, are victims of bad timing.”
“Bad timing?”
“Yeah. Anytime you’re in my space, it’s bad,”
I assured him.
