When Emily makes the cheerleading team for Seattle's pro football organization, she's given one very important rule:
Stay away from the football players.
Everyone on the squad takes that warning seriously.
Emily, however, treats it more like a suggestion.
Especially after she meets Braden Lock.
With his easy smile, endless patience, and heart-of-gold reputation, the star receiver is everything Emily isn't. He's responsible where she's impulsive. Rule-following where she's rebellious. Golden boy meets walking bad decision.
After an injury sidelines Emily's season, the pair strike a secret arrangement designed to keep her spirits up while she recovers. It's supposed to be temporary. It's supposed to be fun.
It's definitely not supposed to turn into something real.
And when their secret relationship is exposed, everything Braden has worked for—and everything Emily hopes to become—is suddenly at risk.
Here's the trope roundup!
Football player × cheerleader
Forbidden romance
Opposites attract
Golden retriever hero
Tattooed, unconventional heroine
Secret relationship
Caretaking and emotional support
Forced proximity through injury recovery
High chemistry and plenty of spice
A hero who falls hard
