A brand new reverse grumpy sunshine, college football romance in a new series of standalone romances. Charlotte Baker is the grump to my sunshine and the star of all my unrequited fantasies. She checks all my boxes while all I seem to do is piss her off. But I’m a wide receiver in the Big Ten. I’m used to winning, and my golden retriever personality is sure to wear her down. Those cutting looks she gives? Just a cover. Secretly she wants me; she’s just loathed to admit it. Those snarky comments? They're simply a way to hide her attraction; she just can't see it yet. Oh, and did I mention I just discovered her father is engaged to my mother? Now she's saltier than normal. But I won't let this forbidden romance get me down. I have a plan, a way to win her over and secure my mother’s engagement to her father at the same time. On paper, my plan is I'm going to show her what it's like to be romanced. I'm going to woo her. I'm going to throw the Love Playbook right at her. Lettie might have made it clear that she's not interested in me, but I'm nothing if not persistent. All she needs is a little persuasion. Right?

Three years ago, Avery Astor ruined me. Now she’s back to finish the job. I had the girl. The scholarship. The future. They say quarterbacks have short memories. But I remember everything. Every promise. Every plan. Every damn kiss. Avery Astor was supposed to follow me to college. Instead, she broke me in half and left me to rebuild my life from scratch. That was nearly three years ago. Now I’m in my junior year of college in the Big Ten, laser-focused, and headed to the national championships. I'm completely off-limits. Until she shows up. At my school. And at the worst possible time. She says she’s here to win me back and there are reasons she left that I don’t know, and she can’t tell me. The problem is . . . I’m not the guy she left behind. And I don’t want to be won.
