Off Season - Paperback

Ever since high school, I've always been one to follow the rules.

Get good grades. Obey my parents.

Don't fall for the bad boy quarterback.

What can I say? He had bright blue eyes and a smile that could light up a room. And while everyone saw him as the future pro football star, I just saw him as Bryce.

He was my first love. My first kiss.

And the first one to break my heart.

But that's in the past. I've moved on. It was young love between two kids who didn't know how the world worked.

Now we're both grown up. I'm happy with my quiet life in our small town. He's setting records on the field and making headlines off of it.

Until one day, out of nowhere, Bryce Donald is back.

And he has his sights set on one thing-me.

I was over him. Or so I thought.

It's only then that I see past the façade of the playboy quarterback. I remember the boy I fell in love with, who's now a man wanting to make his life better. I see a man who's working to make good on wrongs of the past.

And when he kisses me? I realize that Bryce is more than my first love.

He's my forever.

But is it too late? Has too much damage been done?

Or is our story going to come down to the final play of the game?
