Tropes: 🏈 football romance 💕 friends to lovers 🤠 cowboys 👶 single mother 📚 working for a better life 🌶 spice

She knows better than to fall for another football player - especially her brother’s best friend…

As a single mother, Annie Quinn knows she should steer clear of football players, if her son’s absent father is anything to go by. Determined to prove she can raise Nelson on her own, she's decided to go back to school. There’s just one problem: she refuses to rely on her brother Colton for rides into the city.

Tanner Pace has always known Annie Quinn is strictly off limits. Colton is his teammate and best friend, so she’s more like a sister. When he offers to teach her to drive, it’s just to help out a friend. At least, that’s what he tells himself. Because these days, Annie has transformed into a strong and independent woman – one he can't seem to stay away from.

Somewhere between unpredictable drives and slow Texas sunsets, sparks fly and Annie forgets why she decided never to trust a sports star again.

As much as Tanner wants something to happen, he knows it can’t. Annie is his best friend’s sister. Completely, undeniably out of bounds… but are some rules meant to be broken?

A sweet and steamy sports romance full of tension and heart. Perfect for fans of Elle Kennedy, Chelsea Curto and Tessa Bailey.
