“Right when he got to the door, Neal turned, faced him. “You knew who I was and you still came up and talked to me.”
“Not before, not at the beginning,” Jamie said, “and then it didn’t matter.”
Neal looked exasperated. “How can you say that?”
“I’ve only been a fan of yours forever. When you missed . . .it killed me, too. I . . .just want to talk to you. Pick your brain a little. I’m way out of my league here, I think, and I want this job. Don’t you want someone to take it who deserves it?””
Their romance is forbidden. Their love is a secret.
Neal Fisher knows heartbreak. It's the clock ticking down in the Super Bowl. It's missing the most important field goal of his life. It's losing everything: his thirteen year career as an NFL kicker, his future, and his pride.
Jamie Wright knows love. It's everything on the line as the crowd holds their breath. It's a perfect kick as the ball soars through the goal posts. It's NFL fame and glory laid out before him.
Neal is on his way out, and Jamie—if he can withstand the tryout pressure— is on his way in. The one person Jamie should avoid is the veteran kicker, and the last thing Neal wants is to sink Jamie’s chances. But a chance meeting and a wild and undeniable chemistry proves to be irresistible.
Neal thought he knew heartbreak. Jamie thought he knew love.
They were both wrong.
Their romance is forbidden. Their love is a secret.
But if they trust each other, maybe their growing relationship won't end in tragedy. It might even be the beginning of football’s greatest love story.
