Heartfelt opposites attract football YA romance book perfect for fans of Alexandra Moody, Jenny Han, and Jenn Bennett.
Star quarterback for my high school team, I am at the top of my game. Everyone wants a piece of me. Except the one person I want to give all of me to.
Straight A student and swimming champion, Melinda Shepard has no interest in me or my football glory or my dating rep sheet. A few years ago, we'd nearly become friends, but that connection went up in flames before we had time to really get to know each other. When her life is at risk one night, and I'm the only one there to care for her, I'm back in the friendship zone. Finally. Years later, our chemistry hasn't faded, and that attraction between us is still sizzling. Even though my heart belongs to her, and I'm pretty sure hers is mine too, Melinda is trying to keep me at arm's length, hiding a life-threatening secret from me, one that can ruin her and put our blooming relationship in jeopardy too.
Now that truths are being exposed and feelings are being hurt, our friendship may be the only thing salvageable. Until an unexpected challenge complicates our new reality. Never did I imagine that falling in love with the girl of my dreams would turn out to be the hardest play of my life, one that would change me forever.
As pain, lies, and unsaid words mix, do we have a chance at love, or is our relationship doomed from the start?
