The Quarterback: Football Romance
It’s all about the game. Until one wrong play brings her into his life.
One intercepted pass with less than a minute left in the game and Dante Kelley, star quarterback for the NFL expansion team Portland Mountain Lions, loses it the championship, his girlfriend, and his dignity.
When he finds an off-the-beaten-path bar to drown his sorrows, he also finds…a one-night stand.
They both walk away satisfied and with no expectations. Hell, she doesn’t even know his real name. She has no idea he is a famous quarterback for one of the most popular NFL franchises.
He kind of wishes she knew, because he’d kind of like to see her again.
But it isn’t in the cards.
Or so he thinks.
Fast-forward to the beginning of the next football season and standing on the sidelines at his first game is none other than Allison, the one-night stand he hasn’t been able to get out of his head.
Maybe they can pick up where they left off. See where things go. Take it nice and slow this time.
And maybe the demons from her past will show up and ruin the first good thing he’s had going for as long as he can remember.

Dante & Allison. A new football team only a few years in as an NFL expansion team in Portland, Oregon. With hopes and dreams for success in a playoff game it’s down to the end. The response of the quarterback seals the deal. There is a bit of football woven into this tale. There are great characters. There is plenty of hip bumping. There is a surprising amount of tension and suspense. There is a story of teamwork where they may not be on the field but they are working together for the same goal. This book was a surprise in the best way.
