Love, Sidelines, and Endzones — Violet Duke

***Special Fan-Appreciation $2.99 Pre-Order (reg $3.99) for a limited time only***

Grady Donovan is used to folks questioning why he never went pro. Sharing genes with a family of NFL greats, it should've been the natural decision. But instead, he chose coaching. Back when he was getting hit with hard life lessons for all his wrong choices, it was the first one he'd made that had felt so right. Moving to the oddball town of Cactus Creek is now officially the second.

Here, folks care less about his name and more what the auto shop teacher--daughter of the coach he's replacing--thinks of him. It's refreshingly different. She's refreshingly different. Sienna is nothing like the can-I-meet-your-brothers model wannabes or the delicate wounded birds Grady's friends say flock to him by his own doing. She's an opinionated powder keg with mind-melting curves and a garage full of tools he's sure she'd like to hurl at him half the time. And lately, it seems all their heated debates over her old school defense being no match for his high-scoring offense is starting to mean something a whole lot different in his head...

Sienna Whitman is used to being kept on the sidelines. The town's now-retired town coaching legend--just plain 'Dad' to Sienna--could've recommended her as an assistant coach to his successor...you know, if she didn't have that pesky lack of a Y chromosome on her resume. But instead, here she is, back for another year as overqualified team statistician. Secretly feeding field plays to her coaching buddies through her phone.

It wouldn't be half bad if not for the new head coach continuously pushing her buttons at every turn. Mr. All American good looks with that 'new school offense' of his--a.k.a. the take-the-sport-out-of-the-game mentality--is driving her crazy. And not just because he's under the very mistaken notion that she's a sex addict in rehab, thanks to the opposite-of-quick thinking by her partners in crime on the field--seriously, if only her Bluetooth had a kill function. His genuine concern over her 'addiction' is...unexpected, as is the unprecedented realization that just being around Grady makes Sienna want that rehab center's number for real. On speed dial.

Hell, it's going to be a long season.
