Ali Whitaker isn't into kissing strangers. But on the first night back out after her fifteen-year relationship falls apart, she finds herself wanting-and needing -to do just that.
Even though Cornell Crawford is a former division-I quarterback with a genius football IQ, he's blindsided by Ali's blitz at the bar that night. He leaves without her number or the hope to see her again. When Cornell takes a coaching job at a small community college, he comes face-to-face with the petite brunette who stole a kiss and made his head spin.
As colleagues, they must learn to navigate their relationship on the down-low while leading and mentoring the toughest of college football's rejects. They often bump heads-just not hard enough to quell the undeniable attraction and chemistry between them.
Ali hides behind walls and Cornell is burdened by abandonment issues. But when their relationship blossoms from something physical to something more, they must decide if it's worth lining up together on fourth down in the game versus betrayal, inadequacy, and grief.
*Fourth Down Blitz is book one of the two-part, Fourth Down series
