Nashville Fury

When you're a female sports reporter, you have to work twice as hard. Prove your worth. Show people that you belong in the room.The pressroom. Not the bedroom.Oops. And there's my first mistake.In my defense, resisting Hunter McAvoy is easier said than done.Professional football insiders call him the hottest up-and-coming coach in the league. Gossip columns rate him as the sexiest coach in pro sports.But only I know that when he kisses you, you feel it in every cell in your body.At first, I was strong enough to not fall for his Southern drawl or piercing blue eyes. But when a man who's hot enough to be on the cover of fashion magazines praises your football knowledge while also telling you how beautiful you are?Yeah…I was a goner.There's just one problem: Coaches dating reporters is forbidden.It's a conflict of interest for both sides. If either of our employers found out what we're doing, we could both lose our jobs in an instant.It's stupid. Reckless. We're putting everything we've worked for on the line.But when you fall in love, you risk it all.Even if you have to love in secret.

Since I was a little girl, I've known the fairy tale I've wanted to live.Grow up. Fall in love. Get married to a man who will dance with me in the kitchen and kiss me for no reason. Have a big family and live happily ever after.There's just one problem-men suck.What's a southern girl have to do to find her future husband? It's certainly not on the dating apps, so I do something out of my comfort zone-I ask my step sister to set me up.And what does she deliver? A six-foot-two, sexy as sin football coach who has a fear of commitment.Great. The definition of my Prince Charming.Only this man is no prince. He's a tall, dark, and handsome playboy who is impossible to resist.I've never been a fling kind of girl, but with Davis, something so wrong feels so right. Maybe it's that we're doing it in secret? Or that I can somehow always feel his lips on me?We both know we need to stop. Get out before anyone gets hurt.There's just one problem. Well, two.Two pink lines specifically.Yup, this is definitely not how the fairy tale is supposed to go…

Ever since high school, I've always been one to follow the rules.Get good grades. Obey my parents.Don't fall for the bad boy quarterback.What can I say? He had bright blue eyes and a smile that could light up a room. And while everyone saw him as the future pro football star, I just saw him as Bryce.He was my first love. My first kiss.And the first one to break my heart.But that's in the past. I've moved on. It was young love between two kids who didn't know how the world worked.Now we're both grown up. I'm happy with my quiet life in our small town. He's setting records on the field and making headlines off of it. Until one day, out of nowhere, Bryce Donald is back.And he has his sights set on one thing-me.I was over him. Or so I thought.It's only then that I see past the façade of the playboy quarterback. I remember the boy I fell in love with, who's now a man wanting to make his life better. I see a man who's working to make good on wrongs of the past.And when he kisses me? I realize that Bryce is more than my first love.He's my forever.But is it too late? Has too much damage been done?Or is our story going to come down to the final play of the game?
