First Down (Beyond the Play Book 1)

I can`t believe that out of every person I could have kissed . . . I chose McKee`s new quarterback. `Sparkling prose and delicious tension . . . Grace Reilly is the queen of sports romance!` - STEPHANIE ARCHER James Football is my everything. But when I transfer to McKee University to escape the distractions that nearly cost me my future in the NFL, I`m faced with another consequence: retake the writing class I failed at my last college, or lose any chance I have at making it big. That`s where fellow senior Beckett Wood - gorgeous, stubborn, and just my type - comes in. She`s the key to my success in this class . . . but the price of her help is a fake relationship, and I never do things halfway. Bex I don`t mess around with athletes, and handsome, self-assured James Callahan is no exception. He wants me to help him pass the writing class we`re both stuck taking, but I`m too busy to take on yet another responsibility. But when his teammate - my cheating ex - won`t leave me alone, I realize I need to convince him I`ve moved on . . . and what better way than by pretending to be with James, who wants nothing to do with a real relationship? But with every fake kiss, why does James pull me deeper into a place that thrills me? And why don`t I want it to end?
