​​TROPES: Secret Crush, Jock/Nerd, Slow Burn, Hurt/Comfort, Homecoming, Sports Celebrity, Reunion, Small Town, Recuperation, Boy Next Door.

When a tackle stopped NFL superstar Tyler Fantana’s heart, millions of fans watched their MVP die on camera. Now America’s Tightest End has headed home to put his broken pieces back together. Tyler knows returning to football could kill him, so keeping his rehab on track seems impossible—until he starts training with a familiar guy-next-door who knocks his jock off.

Josh Ayres has harbored a secret crush on Tyler since high school. Fifteen years later, Josh has blossomed from a quiet nerd into bona fide beefcake, coaching the team for his alma mater. Helping Tyler get back in the game might become the second chance he never expected… if he can work up the courage to confess his feelings to the bad boy he never stopped loving.

Sparks fly as Tyler and Josh join forces to save the school library, battling book bans, malicious gossip, and media pressure. What happens if infatuation turns into something that feels like forever? And when the NFL offers Tyler the chance to reclaim his fame, can he choose between a deadly game and the man who finally taught him that hearts can heal?

DREAMY!!!

What an adorable story, I absolutely loved the main characters, the idea was really creative, interesting characters, the book was filled with romance, comedy and apprehension, the plot was so rich, most of the time I was just enraptured but also I was biting my nails!

Very well written and a joy to read!"

The story line was very good and so was the chemistry between Josh and Tyler. Just goes to show that being famous isn't all that cracked up to be. You don't have a personal life and neither does your partner.

Nothing yet!
